Virtual Reality Tours of Machu Piccu
July 2, 2002

California State University, Hayward's Instructional Media Center has collaborated with the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University to create a multimedia component for a new museum exhibit on Precolumbian art and culture.

Each photo represents a sample of the many QuickTime VR panorama and object movies they created during the development of Rediscovering Machu Picchu: A Royal Estate of the Incas.

The material was used educationally in an Anthropology Department course surveying the native cultures that inhabited Mexico, Central America and South America before and at the time of European invasion.
