Downloadable Sample of one of the three 'photobubbles'
in Sunday Software's Ten Commandments CD

Our Ten C's CD features some very cool technology for exploring Mt Sinai and accessing learning activities. We sent an Israeli photographer to Mt Sinai to take 3 very special kind of photos called photobubbles*.   This page has a downloadable sample photobubble from the CD that was taken at the base of Mt Sinai. The download also contains a portable Ipix Viewer to view the photobubble outside of the actual program. When you purchase the CD, the viewer is built in and the photobubbles have activities embedded in them.
 

To View the Sample....

1.  DOWNLOAD the Ipix Viewer and 'Bottom' Photobubble shot on location at Mt Sinai.

This is a 1.4mb Windows only downloadable zip file.  Save mtsinaiphotobubble.zip to your Desktop (or any other folder).
 

2.  After it downloads, double click the mtsinaiphotobubble.zip file. Or, if you selected "open folder" after it downloaded, select "Extract All Files from the menu bar.  This will "unzip" or extract the download's three files to your desktop (or wherever you tell it to put them). These three files are bottom.ipx, the IpxVw32.exe -the viewer, and a readme file.

3.  Now go to the extracted Ipix Viewer file (IpxVw32.exe) and double click it to start up the Viewer.  

You should now be looking at the Ipix Viewer screen.

4.  Select OPEN from the Viewer menu, then select bottom.ipx (which was part of the download) and now you're viewing!
 

Ipix Viewer Navigation Notes: To navigate the sample photobubble, place your mouse over the image and click-drag your pointer. Move the pointer closer to the center to slow down the speed of rotation. Right click to reset point of view. In the actual CD's photobubble, special interactive learning activities are embedded as clickable points in each photobubble. If the plug-in for this ipix photobubble doesn't work, download the free ipix viewer plugin using the link below.

Yes!  The "bottom.ipx" was shot on location at Mt Sinai. You'll first see a camel standing there outside of St. Catherine's Monastery, which is located at the base of the mountain.

The sample photobubble does not, however, have the embedded 'hotspots' that the full CD has which activate the learning activities. To see those and see the other photobubbles of Mt. Sinai, you'll have to purchase the CD.

* What's a photobubble? It's two hemispheric pictures stitched together with software so that you can completely turn around in the photo with your mouse. Unlike a simple QuicktimeVR panoramic photo, in photobubbles you can look down and up as you turn. The motion is fluid.

And... we have embedded multimedia activities in the photobubbles. As your students move through the photobubbles, the story of the Ten Commandments unfolds. When they get to the top of Mt. Sinai, they are treated to a 360 panorama of the view from the top of Mt. Sinai, and more activities.
