Interactivity
► |
The
Museum offers audio and video clips within a number of
exhibitions. These may be selected by the museum
visitor to enhance their experience.
Look for the
and symbols
that will indicate that there is an audio or video
component attached to that exhibition or webpage.
Technology changes very quickly; without an updated media player, the video and audio clips
may not be able to be seen or heard. They are best
played using updated media players such as
Apple's QuickTime
or
Windows Media Player
7
or above.
However, saying that, some computers with older
operating systems may not support newer versions of
these media players.
If
there is a problem, you should also check to make sure
that your media player is set up to play the type of
clip provided.
Also a hi-speed Internet is recommended, as the use of phone lines for
Internet access may result in interminably long
download times.
Look for links provided on this site to freely
download a more updated media player.
You can click on
the "Downloads" link provided at the links bar below
to see what free downloads the Museum offers. |
