An IPIX is an interactive, spherical image that provides a panoramic view of Aquarius' interior. Your tour starts in the bunk room, where a large porthole gives awakening aquanauts an unrivaled show of marine life each morning. You will then move into the main lock, which houses many of the control systems, communications equipment, and galley. Moving to the entry lock, you will see that it's an ideal place to set up scientific instruments and computers ... it also contains the toilet. Climb through the hatch and you have entered the wet porch. Like an inverted bucket, a pocket of air keeps the water from entering Aquarius through the moon pool. Here is where aquanauts enter and exit the habitat.

In order to take the tour, you will first need to download the IPIX plug-in.
