Download 3D Viewer for the The Virtual Artshighway All that is required to explore 3D virtual realities is to download and install the free Active Worlds software that enables 3D internet viewing. To make it easier for first-time visitors we have specially configured the version below to open and start at "Mile 0" of the Virtual Artshighway. When you first arrive it is best to wait a few moments for the 'world' to completely load and materialize before moving (loads faster each time you visit), but there is a lot you can see and read as the world loads. Those who have already installed the Active Worlds browser can simply teleport to World: Artshiway. The arrows keys on your keyboard are all you need to navigate forward, back and side to side ( with Pageup/Pagedn for looking up or down) Choose either the immediate installer below or the second link which is just a zipped up version of the first for those who have trouble downloading exe files through a firewall.

A good video card with some additional memory helps a lot, if 3D games like Microsoft Flight Simulator run well you will have no problem seeing the Virtual Artshighway. Hi Speed Connection recommended, the Virtual Artshighway was developed on the Active Worlds server which has been around for over 10 years developing 3d virtual worlds so it can be experienced on dialup, although you can appreciate that it loads a lot slower and can be difficult if you are not patient, especially the first time in.
