Help using the Virtual Open Day

The University of Southampton Virtual Open Day has been designed to be easy to use on all devices.

There are over 550 panoramic scenes for you to explore across the different campuses and accommodation site areas. Within these areas you can navigate to different scenes using the Street View controls (the white chevrons) to move from one scene to another.

You can orientate yourself either by clicking and dragging around the scene (if using a mouse), by touching and dragging (if using a touch-enabled device) or by using the circular Street View control in the bottom right of the scene.

You can zoom in and out either by scrolling your mouse wheel (if using a compatible mouse), or by using the Street View zoom control to the right of the scene.

If you want to head straight to key information, or to explore the accommodation, a particular campus, or courses on offer, then use the navigation you see on the left (for larger screens), or use the icon at the top of the screen (for smaller screens / mobile devices) to get the navigation to pop out if you don't see it on the left.
