• Click Third Person on the Navigation Tools toolbar.

• Press T to toggle third person view on/off.

Note

When Third Person mode is turned on, rendering prioritization is changed so that objects around

the camera or avatar are displayed with much higher detail than normal. The size of the region of

high detail is based on collision volume radius, speed of movement (needing to see what is about

to be walked into) and the distance of the camera behind the avatar (in order to see what the

avatar is interacting with).
