• How to move around in Active Worlds using a keyboard and a mouse ?

See also Teleportation.

The arrow keys of your keyboard will move you correspondingly to the gauche, the right, forward or backward.

The keys <-> (minus) and <+> (plus) of the numeric part of your keyboard will move you correspondingly up and down.

All these keys combined with the <SHIFT> key will allow you to pass thru objects (only in virtual worlds where the owner allows visitors to pass thru objects).

All these keys combined with the <CTRL> key will allow you to move at higher speeds.

The icons :

From left to right :

• Display/hide the window worlds list, contacts, search, etc...
   
• Return to your "home".
