Scrolling broken on my phone. Stop hijacking the scrolling damnit.
It's part of the experience man. Scrolling down is used to simulate a movement forward like walking thru the scenery....

#72I am a bit disappointed that it's always those grand palaces. I also want to see the environment in which average people lived, this is harder for me to imagine than those grand temples.

#73Whoever designed the navigation in this must have some sort of continuous-scroll device. My scroll-wheel finger would develop RSI by the time I finished exploring that using a normal scroll-wheel mouse...

The UI could have been better, but it worked and it was something I’d never seen before and it made my day. Rich web experiences like this are difficult to pull off at all. I’m glad they made it. People who write empty, sneering comments about other people’s hard work shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near computers.
Not for people on mobile phones, none of my Android devices go past the first screen, paging doesn't work at all.
My Android phone was fairly mid range when I bought it, and that was a few years ago (long enough that I don't remember now!) and it works fine for me.
Edit: I should mention that I only tried Chrome
Edit 2: Also tried Firefox on my Android device. It was noticeably slower but still worked.

Not a great part of the experience, certainly. Needs WASD key support if nothing else. It's almost unusable with a mouse.
If you're going to make it look like a first-person perspective game, it needs to act that way.

Same on my iPhone

#77Just explored it with my 4 year old son. He insisted on a second tour and on clicking all of the interactive exhibits. Amazing design and execution!

#79Eternal forced scrolling "powerpoint" HTML slide-show? No, thank you. I have stopped after 3 pages. What is the point of doing this? Designers, who think that this is a good idea to waste people's time like this, shouldn't be allowed anywhere near computers.
I think it was good in this case. They wanted to present a guided tour. May be they could have added buttons but this journey was nice overall.
Then just record a video.
Presenting an interactive experience and then taking away all control from the user and replacing it with an extremely frustrating navigation mode (hint, not everyone is using a phone/tablet or laptop touchpad - try to scroll that much with a mouse!) is just stupid and completely wasting the potential of the medium.

It needs very unreasonable amount of scrolling.
