Aurora Project CD-ROM
Community Watershed Partnerships - A Virtual Exploration

Aurora CD-ROM main map.

The Aurora Project is available as an interactive CD- ROM. This CD-ROM includes several "hot spots" within each panorama. Movies, slide shows and accompanying sound files play immediately when a hot spot is found. Due to space limitations and internet download speed these hot spots are not yet available on the Internet. Please order the CD-ROM to experience the complete "virtual exploration" of selected "Community Watershed Partnerships" located in the Western states. This CD-ROM will run on a Macintosh Power PC computer and a Windows 95/98 or NT Pentium computer with the system requirements below. Note! The QuickTime movies on this CD-ROM have been produced to play in a larger window and at a faster data rate than many produced in the past. This will give you a better visual experience, but also requires that the processor speed and multimedia components of your computer should be as fast and up to date as possible.

System Requirements

QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) panoramas and QuickTime video are what make this program special. This CD-ROM has not been produced for a low end computer system. Your computer system should have a minimum of a twelve speed CD-ROM drive, 24 MB of RAM, a system that can play sound and a monitor capable of displaying 16 bit color. (Tests done on 6 and 8 speed CD-ROM players show that the movie clips may sometimes exhibit uneven playback ability. Other parts of the program should play correctly with these slower drives.)

Please make sure your computer can properly play other interactive multimedia CD-ROM titles which contain audio, photo and video files. MMX technology is desirable for Windows playback.
Your display control panel must be set on Hi Color (16 Bit). Some CD-ROMs force your computer to display in 256 colors and this setting will not be acceptable for this Aurora CD-ROM.

Please e-mail Project Director Jack Peterson at jack_g_peterson@blm.gov if you are interested in obtaining a copy of the CD-ROM. Please indicate whether you would like a Mac Power PC or Windows 95/98 Pentium version and give your full mailing address.
