Virtual tour through museum

[McDuff]

I am trying to design a virtual tour through our museum and the village in a way that attracts our target group. These are mainly persons over 50 interested in Genealogy, settlers history, etc.

I personally liked some things that tknterry (http://www.aota.net/forums/showthread.php?t=22753) did. However, I tried his site on some of my US friends that can be called representative for our target group and they did not feel comfortable with it.

So out goes that idea (at least for this site :sad:). Anybody know any other good techniques for a virtual tour through a museum and village?
Demands are:
- easy to start and follow for computer illiterates.
- running smoothly also on older computers or dial-up connections.
- not flashy or other techniques that use players or scripts not automatically available on all computers.

I looked at tknterry's site again. I think older people would prefer less text on the homepage, dark text on a light background, and a menu of other images on each image's page, maybe with a thumbnail of each. In fact, I'd like that too. I don't know what software to suggest.

I think the problem they had with it was not so much the colors but the whole system how it works.

I am now playing around with a purely css-based gallery from Stu Nicolls (http://www.cssplay.co.uk/) (CSSplay). He has several versions, and provides all the codes in the page-source view as freeware.

I will try to make it do what I want. If it works, Ill try that on my test group, maybe also here in this forum, and wait for reactions.
