The Virtual Cave Screensaver CD contains
200 different images from caves around the world. It presents a virtual cave
trip, beginning with your descent down a
series of shafts and then following an underground river to our
images depicting all of the major classes
of cave formation, from the common to one-of-a-kind.
The disc has both a Screensaver, which runs
by itself once installed and configured, and a Slide Show where you
advance the images at your own pace. This
also has some captions so you know what you're looking at, which makes
it a great educational tool. For greater
detail on any of the cave formations, consult The
Virtual Cave.
The base resolution of the images in the
show is 1280 x 1024, and it will scale to whatever screen resolution you are
running.
You can watch the first 20 slides in the
show played at a reduced resolution, here.
Your browser must be java enabled. The
show is about 450 kilobytes in size, but
you don't have to wait for all the images to load before the show starts.
Note that
this sample show uses a variety of transitions,
due to the limitations of the Java applet. The real show instead uses smooth
fades
from one image on to the other, which adds
to the surreal beauty of the formations.
Keep in mind, this is a very reduced size
compared to how the show will play on your monitor, where it will fill your
screen.
