eXploreMaps is a new technology that allows you to browse a 3D scene interactively with a photorealistic rendering on your browser web or mobile device. Too good to be true? Well, you cannot go "everywhere", your position is constrained to a number of points of view and you can move from one to another in a predetermined way, but you are free to orient the view and zoom all the time. Let's say is similar to Google Street but without blurring in the transitions..
The image below is a snapshot of the application with a few indications. Basically it's "Drag to rotate the view, click on a thumbnail or the leading yellow arrow to go".
The AutoTour mode is an automatic mode that shows you around without requiring any further interaction. Just press the guide button, sit back and relax.
If you interact while the AutoTour is enabled, you gain control of the navigation. If you do not interact for more than three second the tour continues.
