It is the 360 version of the film we showed you a few weeks ago. You can rotate the camera to point where you want. If you are watching this film and wonder why it is showing a wall or something dull, it is because you haven't rotated the camera.

Paphos is remarkably busy at the moment, considering it is term time and the state of economies around the World. The seas are beginning to lose their summer heat, but there are still plenty of opportunities for sunbathing. And don't forget, the cooler Autumnal air is ideal for exploring the Archaeological Park and Tomb of the Kings, not to mention the new walkway!

To enjoy 360 films you must watch them at a high a resolution as possible. Ramp the resolution up to 5K if you can. If it looks excessively blocky it is because your resolution is set too low.

Once you are viewing the film, you can move the camera about to look at whatever you like. On a tablet, or phone, just swipe in the way you want to go. On a computer, use the mouse or the W,A,S and D keys to point the camera. If you pause the film, you can still move the camera about.

If the image you see cannot be rotated and looks weird, it is likely that your viewer doesn't support 360 film. If that is the case, try viewing the film using the Youtube Application.
