What is a HUD?
HUD stands for 'Heads Up Display.' An easy way of referring to an interactive console that appears on your screen. Think... buttons that make cool stuff happen.
------------------------------------------------------
CAMERA CONTROLS include:
Cameras control your eyes - what and how you see.
------------------------------------------------------
- 3rd Person (See your avatar in front of you)
- 1st Person (Look through the avatar eyes)
- Me-Cam Mirror (It's like looking in the mirror)
- FreeCam Drone (Detaches from avatar body and flies around stealthily like a... well, like an invisible drone). Your avatar will remain in the location where drone was activated.
NOTE: 3DWebWindows don't use avatars. They only use drones. - Scroll Wheel - Zoom in and out.

LEARN YOUR TOOLBARS!

Toolbars can be opened and closed using the small green arrow buttons.

It also lists your current location.

-----------------------------------------------------------
HOW DO I ACTIVATE OR CHANGE CAMERAS?
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Top Toolbar: the CONTROLS Pull-Down Menu. Select the camera of your choice.
- Bottom Toolbar: Camera Control Buttons
**Buttons on bottom toolbar can be customized. If you don't see a button you need, customize your UI or use the top toolbar to access control.
The default landing camera is 3rd Person. Everytime you land on a region, your 3rd Person Camera will be automatically activated.
----------------------------------------
IF THINGS GET HINKY
----------------------------------------
Let's face it - we are running all of this in a WEB BROWSER. Sometimes things get hinky. Two easy fixes.
- Reload World Button - reloads the region, keeping your avatar at its current location.
- Reload the Browser Page - is a complete region reset. Your avatar will return to the original region landing point. (If you were in the middle of a quest, don't worry. Your progress will be properly saved.)
