UM debuts GrizCam,
virtual campus tour
Now people all over the world can experience UM via the wonders of the World Wide Web.
Two new offerings on UM's Web site -- GrizCam and the Virtual Tour -- give an up-close-and-personal look at campus.

GrizCam, mounted on the roof of Jesse Hall, features live, interactive viewing of UM and the surrounding valley. Web visitors can take over the camera controls to check out everything from Main Hall and Mount Sentinel to downtown Missoula and the Rattlesnake Wilderness.

The Virtual Tour, meanwhile, is the next best thing to having your own personal tour guide. Via a free QuickTime plug-in, the tour offers photographs, videos, 360-degree panoramas and text descriptions of UM buildings and sights. It's even possible to visit the new Fitness and Recreation Center or scope out the view from the M without ever leaving home.

GrizCam and the Virtual Tour were funded by Student Affairs and produced by UM staff in the Information Technology, Residence Life and University Relations offices.
