			<title>Setup Webcam</title>
			<text>Purchase and/or install a good quality webcam. You can find more information about this in the help sections “Choosing a Great Webcam” and “Installing a Web Camera”.</text>
			<bullet>Once installed and tested, run Imaginality Unleashed, click on the setup tab (along the top) and select the “Camera Setup” option. Ensure video from the webcam is being displayed. If necessary, you can “Configure Camera”.</bullet>
			<bullet>NOTE: A webcam is not vital – if you do not have one you can skip this step and still use Imaginality in ‘Mouse Only’ mode.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>QuickSetupGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Print Paddles</title>
			<text>If you are using a webcam, Imaginality will display virtual, 3D objects attached to handheld paddles that contain unique, black squares. You can make your own set of paddles by following these instructions.</text>
			<bullet>In the list of modules, find the one called “Paddles to Print” and open it with a double-click or click the ‘Run’ button.</bullet>
			<bullet>The paddle designs will be displayed. Click the ‘Print’ button to print these out.</bullet>
			<bullet>Follow the instructions printed along with the paddles to make the paddles more rigid and easier to use.</bullet>

		<title>Quick User Guide</title>

		<section>
			<image>QuickUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Introduction</title>
			<text>This section helps you run your first module. It assumes you have set up Imaginality Unleashed according to the “Quick Setup Guide” help above. For more details, refer to the “Advanced User Guide”. This section includes the following:</text>
			<bullet>Run a Module</bullet>
			<bullet>Check Camera Framing</bullet>
			<bullet>Check Lighting</bullet>
			<bullet>Using the Paddles</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>QuickUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Run a Module</title>
			<text>Click on the “Modules” tab (along the top), then select a module of interest. You can either click the “Run” button or simply double-click on any module to run it.</text>
			<bullet>If this is the first time this module has been run in your account, you be taken to the purchase page. Enter you payment details, or if the module is free, click “Continue”.</bullet>
			<bullet>Once you have done this, the module automatically begin downloading and installing.</bullet>
			<bullet>You can continue to use Imaginality while it is doing this.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>QuickUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Check Framing - Workspace</title>
			<text>A ‘workspace’ activity involves multiple paddles being used on a table top. In this case, point the camera down at the surface of the table so that all of the paddles are in view.</text>
			<bullet>NOTE: some webcams can get confused by dark tables and make the image too bright for Imaginality to process it properly. If this is the case, we suggest laying white paper on the table top.</bullet>
			<bullet>You can also try manually adjusting the webcam driver settings to reduce this effect. See “Lighting and Camera Setup” for more details.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>QuickUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Check Framing - Mirror</title>
			<text> A ‘mirror’ activity involves seeing yourself in the virtual ‘mirror’ and using paddles to replace parts of your body or clothing. Point the webcam up so that the upper bodies of the users are in view.</text>
			<bullet>If the paddles get too far away from the camera (about 1.5m away), Imaginality may no longer recognise them.</bullet>
			<bullet>Some webcams can get confused by overly dark or light backgrounds behind the users. If this is the case, you can try adjusting lighting (switch on or off lights, pull curtains etc) or changing clothing (removing dark jackets).</bullet>
			<bullet>You can also try manually adjusting the webcam driver settings to reduce this effect. See “Lighting and Camera Setup” for more details.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>QuickUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Check Lighting</title>
			<text>Lighting can make a huge difference to the quality of your experience. Imaginality wants to see blacks that are as black as possible while keeping whites that are as white as possible (i.e High Contrast). Also, glare from spotlights (or sunlight) can make the black square appear to be white, so that Imaginality cannot recognise it. Below are some quick hints. See “Lighting and Camera Setup” for more details.</text>
			<bullet>Avoid spotlights and direct sunlight. Aim for diffuse (soft, spread out) light sources that are behind the camera.</bullet>
			<bullet>Avoid dark backgrounds or wearing dark clothing (if they are in view). Some webcams compensate by making the image far too bright.</bullet>
			<bullet>You can also try manually adjusting the webcam driver settings to increase contrast.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>QuickUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Using the Paddles</title>
			<text>The main rule to remember here is that Imaginality has to see the entire black square on the paddle in order to recognise it and display virtual, 3D objects over it. Try the guidelines below:</text>
			<bullet>When you are holding the paddle, don’t let your fingers cover any edge of the square.</bullet>
			<bullet>Don’t let the edge or corner of the paddle disappear out of the view of the webcam.</bullet>
			<bullet>Don’t let one paddle overlap another paddle.</bullet>
			<bullet>Don’t move the paddles too fast – this can cause motion blur, which Imaginality cannot recognise.</bullet>

			<title>Advanced Usage</title>
			<text>This is all you need to get started using Imaginality Unleashed with a webcam. Have a go now, and when you are ready, you might want to enhance your use of Imaginality by reading “Advanced User Guide” and “Lighting and Camera Setup”.</text>
			<bullet>The “Advanced User Guide” details some extra features of Imaginality that can be very useful.</bullet>
			<bullet>The “Lighting and Camera Setup” helps you increase the quality of video that your webcam captures, and therefore helps Imaginality recognise the paddles more accurately. Take a look at this if virtual 3D content is not staying anchored constantly (flickers in and out) and stabily (jitters from side to side) to the paddle.</bullet>

			<title>Your Imaginality Account</title>
			<text>Imaginality is based around an account structure. This means that you set up a personal account using your email address and password so that it is unique to you. You then log in to Imaginality with that account, so that it can keep track of which modules you have installed.</text>
			<bullet>The main advantage of this is that you can easily take your account to another computer – when you log in, Imaginality will automatically download and install all modules you had previously installed.</bullet>
			<bullet>Please note that for security reasons, the number of computers that use your account are monitored and where appropriate, compared to the number of licences you have purchased.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedSetupGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Occasional Internet Required</title>
			<text>Imaginality Unleashed can be thought of as an Internet Browser for Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality Applications. As such, it occasionally requires use of the internet. An Internet connection will be required after either a certain number of days, or a certain number of uses has been reached.</text>
			<bullet>The Internet connection will be used to ensure your account is up to date, update your list of available modules and check for updates to the Imaginality Unleashed and modules.</bullet>
			<bullet>Most updates are voluntary, but occasionally a critical update will be required, which will automatically commence next time you start Imaginality Unleashed.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedSetupGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Setup Tab – Camera Configuration</title>
			<text>Here you can select the video device you want Imaginality to use, preview it in a window to the right and “Configure Camera” to access the camera driver settings.</text>
			<bullet>If you untick “Enable Camera Operation”, no video feed will be used, and Modules will be displayed in “Mouse-Only” Mode (the background is a virtual world instead of live video).</bullet>
			<bullet>If you tick “Run Camera at lower resolution”, Imaginality will change the camera resolution from 640x480 to 320x240, resulting in better performance (for slower computers) with the trade-off of a lower quality image and having to hold the paddles close to the camera for them to register.</bullet>
			<bullet>Manual camera calibration will be implemented at a later date.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedSetupGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Setup Tab – Display Mode</title>
			<text>This specifies how the Module is presented on the screen. You can select the display device the Module will appear on (if you have a data projector set up as a second display device you can select that). You can change the resolution of the display size (the number of pixels used in the display), but keep in mind that larger resolutions can slow down older computers. If you untick “Run FullScreen”, the Module will run in a window o the size selected.</text>
			<bullet>“Disable Particle Effects” will make some Modules run faster on slow computers, but will decrease the visual quality of 3D objects like the Sun (in the Solar System Explorer).</bullet>
			<bullet>“Flip video output horizontally” is on by default so that the display is ‘mirrored’ to match your movement. You can untick this if you want to pick up the camera and film the world from your perspective.</bullet>
			<bullet>“Run in high compatibility mode” is ticked by default. This ensures that the graphics are created in such a way that all graphics cards can display them properly. Unticking this setting may increase performance on slower computers, but may reduce application reliability.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedSetupGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Setup Tab – Online Update</title>
			<text>The “Application Online Update” allows Imaginality to automatically download and install the latest updates to the software and to the Modules. This allows you to benefit from bug fixes, feature enhancements and improved Modules for free. Note that if you are experiencing any problems in Imaginality, one of the first things you should do is run the Online Update for both the software and the Modules.</text>
			<bullet>Go to the setup tab and choose “Application Online Update”. Note, you will need to be connected to the internet for Imaginality to be able to check for updates.</bullet>
			<bullet>Imaginality will check for updates and show you what is available to update.</bullet>
			<bullet>If necessary, click on the first “Update” button to update the Imaginality Software. Note, if it mentions “This is a required update”, then it is considered critical and Imaginality will automatically try to update next time it is run (even if you do not click “Update”.</bullet>
			<bullet>If necessary, click on the second “Update” button to use updates for any Modules you currently have installed. </bullet>

			<title>Introduction</title>
			<text>This section helps enhance your experience of Imaginality by detailing some extra features that can be very useful.</text>
			<bullet>This section assumes you have read the “Quick Setup Guide” and “Quick User Guide”.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Common Paddle Interactions</title>
			<text>In many of the modules, the paddles can interact with each other. There are two common interactions you can try with most modules:</text>
			<bullet>Put the information paddle (has a big 'i' on it) beside any other paddle to get more information about it. Press spacebar to enlarge the information text.</bullet>
			<bullet>Try putting one paddle beside another paddle(but don't overlap the paddles). The objects might interact, for example, scale to their relative sizes.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Extra Features</title>
			<text>Below is a list of extra features that are supported by all modules:</text>
			<bullet>You can press escape to exit the module. This is particularly useful in FullScreen mode.</bullet>
			<bullet>Press spacebar to enlarge the information text. The information paddle has to be in view.</bullet>
			<bullet>Press the ‘Print Screen’ key (maybe labelled ‘prt sc’ to save out the current view to a file.</bullet>
			<bullet>You can also record a video of your actions. Press F12 to start recording and F12 again to stop recording and save.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedUserGuide/t2</image>
			<title>Mouse-Only Mode</title>
			<text>If you do not have a webcam plugged in or enabled in Camera Setup, you can still use Imaginality Unleashed Modules in  “Mouse-Only” Mode. All of the same “Paddle Interaction” and “Extra Features” also apply to this mode. Mouse-Only Mode has no view of the real world, instead, the paddles are in a completely virtual world. The paddles and you position in the virtual world can be moved around with the mouse using the following techniques:</text>
			<bullet>Left-Click and drag on paddles or 3D virtual objects to move them around the scene.</bullet>
			<bullet>Left-Click and drag in EMPTY areas of the screen to move the view sideways and forwards-and-backwards.</bullet>
			<bullet>Right-Click and drag to rotate the view.</bullet>
			<bullet>Roll the Scroll-Wheel to zoom in and out of the scene.</bullet>

		<title>Lighting and Camera Setup</title>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedLightingCamera/t2</image>
			<title>Introduction</title>
			<text> This section helps enhance your experience of Imaginality by increasing the quality of video that your webcam captures.</text>
			<bullet> This section assumes you have read the “Quick Setup Guide” and “Quick User Guide”.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedLightingCamera/t2</image>
			<title>Think Like a Webcam</title>
			<text>It is important to understand that the webcam sees the world in a very exact, literal way – it cannot make assumptions about partial paddles, shaded paddles or extremely bright paddles. The following examples may not be recognised by Imaginality:</text>
			<bullet>Bright light glaring off the black square on a paddle will appear to the webcam to be white, so it may not be recognised.</bullet>
			<bullet>Similarly, a black square that has an edge covered by a finger may not be recognised.</bullet>
			<bullet>Also, a paddle that has a shadow cast over it, or that has a dark surface (e.g. is facing the ground and has its back to the light) may not be recognised.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedLightingCamera/t2</image>
			<title>Pay Attention to Lighting</title>
			<text>Lighting can make a huge difference to the quality of your experience. Imaginality wants to see blacks that are as black as possible while keeping whites that are as white as possible (i.e High Contrast).</text>
			<bullet>First, try adjusting the lighting (switch on or off lights, pull curtains etc).</bullet>
			<bullet>Diffuse (soft, spread out) light sources are much better than Spot lights (concentrated points of light). So where possible, block direct sunlight and turn off spotlights (reading lamps etc) or point them at a wall so their intensity is spread over a larger area.</bullet>
			<bullet>Try to place all light sources behind the camera.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedLightingCamera/t2</image>
			<title>Avoid Dark Backgrounds</title>
			<text>You may also find that it helps to increase the brightness of the background. This is because if some webcams detect a lot of black in an image, they will overcompensate by making the image so bright that Imaginality can no longer recognise any paddles.</text>
			<bullet>On a dark table top, try laying down white paper.</bullet>
			<bullet>If the webcam is looking at people, minimise dark clothing and dark walls.</bullet>
			<bullet>If you cannot avoid a dark background, or you are still having trouble with the image looking too bright, read the next page “Tweak Webcam Settings”.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>AdvancedLightingCamera/t2</image>
			<title>Tweak Webcam Settings</title>
			<text>You can also try manually adjusting the webcam driver settings to reduce this effect. Go to the Setup tab, select “Camera Configuration” and then click the “Configure Camera” button. This will bring up a window with multiple tabs of settings. The video in the webcam preview window should respond to any changes you make, so keep a paddle in view for reference. These webcam driver settings are different for every webcam, but some general suggestions are:</text>
			<bullet>First try reducing the gamma. Often you can reduce it to zero for good results.</bullet>
			<bullet>Next, manually adjusting the gain and then the exposure can help. You probably need to untick a box beside the gain and exposure controls that says “Automatic”. Remember you want to make the blacks as black as possible while keeping the whites as white as possible.</bullet>
			<bullet>When you are satisfied, look for a “Save Settings” button. If you do not click this, some drives will reset your changes when you reboot the computer (or when you unplug the webcam). This is not necessary for all webcams.</bullet>
			<bullet>Currently, Microsoft cameras do not allow many of these settings to be changed, which makes them rather inflexible in these situations.</bullet>

		<title>Choosing a Great Webcam</title>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t1</image>
			<title>Introduction</title>
			<text>One of the most important factors in successfully using Imaginality Unleashed is using a good quality web camera. The following pages detail relevant web camera features from most to least important.</text>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t2</image>
			<title>Webcam Resolution</title>
			<text>The most important factor is that it supports a true hardware resolution of at least 300k pixels (640*480).</text>
			<bullet>Do not mistake this for a ‘software interpolated’ resolution of 300k (a lower resolution scaled up to 300k), which will give poor results.</bullet>
			<bullet>Some lower resolution webcams (especially those by high quality manufacturers) may give an acceptable result, but this cannot be guaranteed.</bullet>
			<bullet>If you do use a low resolution webcam, you will often notice the paddles have to be much closer (less than 0.75m) to the camera to be recognised (compared to greater than 1.5m).</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t3</image>
			<title>USB 2</title>
			<text>It is also preferable to use a USB 2 camera, although a USB 1 camera is usable.</text>
			<bullet>If your computer is slower that 1.6 GHz we recommend you stick to USB 1 cameras, as they do not require as many computer resources.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t4</image>
			<title>Lens Quality</title>
			<text>A good quality lens can make a huge difference to the image quality.</text>
			<bullet> In general, the larger the lens, the better the image. A pinhole lens often does not give good quality images. A glass lens is preferable.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t5</image>
			<title>Large Sensor</title>
			<text>A large sensor (CCD or CMOS) will collect more light and therefore should produce a better quality image.</text>
			<bullet>A 1/3 inch chip is good for web cameras.</bullet>
			<bullet>Unfortunately, many webcams do not specify the size of the sensor used.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t6</image>
			<title>Versatile Mounting</title>
			<text>A versatile foot/shoe is convenient.</text>
			<bullet>Some web cameras have a shoe that can act as both a stand and a clip that works well on both thin laptops and desktop computer monitors.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t7</image>
			<title>Manufacturers</title>
			<text>Two webcams with similar specifications can produce significantly different image qualities. This is largely dependent on the manufacturer.</text>
			<bullet>We have found that Logitech webcams work well. In the list of modules, under “Purchase Webcam”, we have links to a Logitech webcam we recommend.</bullet>
			<bullet>Microsoft webcams are reasonable, but Genius and many other ‘generic’ brands often perform poorly.</bullet>
			<bullet>Unfortunately Creative webcams often have very unreliable drivers, which let down what are otherwise good quality webcams. We cannot guarantee Creative webcams will give you a good experience, though we are working to improve this issue.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>ChoosingWebcam/t8</image>
			<title>The Imaginality Webcam</title>
			<text>MindSpace is developing an Imaginality webcam that will be high quality at a reasonable price.</text>
			<bullet>It is specifically being designed to give a great result in Imaginality Unleashed. </bullet>

		<title>Installing a Web Camera</title>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/overview</image>
			<title>Overview</title>
			<text>This section of help is designed to provide general instructions that should help with installing most models of web cameras.</text>
			<bullet>Because these instructions have been generalised, the install process of some models of web cameras may be slightly different. Please refer to the “Setup Instructions” that came with your web camera for more details.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s1</image>
			<title>Webcam Quality</title>
			<text>Note that these instructions assume you have purchased a web camera (webcam) in addition to your Imaginality Unleashed Software. Any good quality USB webcam should work, though you will have a better experience with a high quality webcam.</text>
			<bullet>The most important factors are a true, hardware resolution (not ‘software interpolated’) of at least 300k pixels (640*480) and ideally USB 2 (USB 1 is usable). </bullet>
			<bullet>Some brands also perform better than others. For more details, check the help section called “Choosing a Great Webcam”. </bullet>
			<bullet>MindSpace is developing an Imaginality webcam that will be high quality at a reasonable price.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s2</image>
			<title>Keep Webcam Unplugged</title>
			<text>First, make sure the web camera is not plugged in yet.</text>
			<bullet>If it is plugged in, please unplug it and cancel out of any windows that might have appeared, such as “New Hardware Found”.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s3</image>
			<title>nstall Drivers</title>
			<text>Put the CD labelled “Web Camera Driver” (or similar name) in the CD-ROM drive. Wait for the Install Menu to auto-load.</text>
			<bullet>You will need Administrator Rights to complete this process. If necessary, contact your system administrator.</bullet>
			<bullet>If the menu does not auto-load within 20 seconds, go to “My Computer”, double-click the CD-ROM drive and double-click “Setup” (or the equivalent).</bullet>
			<bullet>If you cannot find the install CD, or it is out of date, check the manufacturer’s website for the latest driver.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s4</image>
			<title>Follow Install Instructions</title>
			<text>Follow the instructions on screen. Take the booklet labelled “Setup Instructions” (or the equivalent) out of the camera's box and refer to it for details. Wait for the installation to finish.</text>
			<bullet>Remember that because these instructions have been generalised, the install process of some models of web cameras may be slightly different.</bullet>
			<bullet>Please refer to the “Setup Instructions” that came with your web camera for more details.</bullet>
			<bullet>Some of the components may take a couple of minutes to install.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s5</image>
			<title>Plug in the Webcam </title>
			<text>Once installation is complete, or if you are instructed to, plug the Web Camera into an available USB slot.</text>
			<bullet>Some camera software may require the computer to be rebooted before the camera should be plugged in.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s6</image>
			<title>Finish Installation</title>
			<text>Once the camera is connected, the computer will detect the Web Camera and need to finish installing the drivers.</text>
			<bullet>Follow the procedure shown in the camera's documentation</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s7</image>
			<title>Microphone Installation</title>
			<text>The computer may detect that the Web Camera has a microphone, in which case, repeat the previous step for the microphone.</text>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s8</image>
			<title>Test the Webcam </title>
			<text>Test the Web Camera in the software that was installed with the driver.</text>
			<bullet>Often this can be quickly accessed by pushing a button on the webcam. Sometimes the button will only snap a still image, in which case, you should find the video-capture application.</bullet>
			<bullet>If you cannot find the software, or it was not installed, you should still be able to test the webcam in the Imaginality Unleashed Camera Setup page.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>WebCamInstall/s9</image>
			<title>Troubleshooting</title>
			<text>If the video or image appears acceptable, then you have finished installing the Web Camera. Now you can run Imaginality Unleashed.</text>
			<bullet>If the test failed, consult the trouble-shooting section of your manual. MindSpace can hold no responsibility for failure of webcams from other manufacturers.</bullet>

		<title>Troubleshooting</title>

		<section>
			<image>Troubleshooting/t2</image>
			<title>Always Try This First</title>
			<text>If you experience any problems, the first thing you should try is to update the Imaginality software and Imaginality Modules.</text>
			<bullet>This is very easy to do, and can be done from within Imaginality Unleashed.</bullet>
			<bullet>Go to the Setup tab, choose “Application Online Update” and follow the instructions presented to you.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>Troubleshooting/t2</image>
			<title>No Webcam Image</title>
			<text>When running a module, the image from the webcam is either black or static.</text>
			<bullet>This will be because Imaginality has been accidentally told to use a video feed from a TV Tuner or software webcam (like Camtasia).</bullet>
			<bullet>Exit from the module, go to the Setup tab, choose “Camera Configuration” and select a more appropriate video device.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>Troubleshooting/t2</image>
			<title>Modules Running in Mouse-Only Mode</title>
			<text>Even though you have a webcam plugged in, when you run a module, it is presented in Mouse-Only Mode (i.e. the background is a virtual world, with no image from the webcam).</text>
			<bullet>This is because you have not told Imaginality to use a webcam.</bullet>
			<bullet>Exit from the module, go to the Setup tab, choose “Camera Configuration” and select the webcam you want to use.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>Troubleshooting/t2</image>
			<title>”No Video Devices Found”</title>
			<text>When you go to the setup tab and choose “Camera Configuration” it says “No video devices were found”. This is because no video devices are currently available for you to use.</text>
			<bullet>Stop using your webcam in any other applications. Your webcam can only send video to one application at once.</bullet>
			<bullet>Check if you can use your webcam through the software that was installed with your webcam driver. If this cannot use the webcam either, then it is a problem with the webcam, not a problem with Imaginality.</bullet>
			<bullet>Try rebooting your computer and running Imaginality again. If this does not work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the webcam driver.</bullet>
		</section>

		<section>
			<image>Troubleshooting/t2</image>
			<title>Unable to Connect to Internet</title>
			<text>Imaginality repeatedly asks you to login, cannot refresh the list of modules, or cannot install a new module. If this is the case, Imaginality is probably failing to connect to the Internet.</text>
			<bullet>Try using the Internet with another application (e.g. go to a webpage that is not cached). If this cannot use the Internet either, then it is a problem with your connection, not a problem with Imaginality.</bullet>
			<bullet>If this does work, then it is a problem with Imaginality. Imaginality can work from behind firewalls and routers. However, Imaginality Unleashed Home Edition cannot pass through a proxy. If you are behind a proxy, you should be using Imaginality Unleashed School Edition.</bullet>

			<title>Modules Running Very Slowly</title>
			<text>If you are finding that the modules always run very slowly, it is either because your computer is quite slow, or there is another application that it taking all of the computer resources. Try closing all other applications that are open. If the Modules are still slow, it is probably because your computer is quite slow (under 1.6gHz). If this is the case, there are a few things you can do to increase the speed of the modules:</text>
			<bullet>Go to the Setup tab, choose “Display Mode Configuration” and tick “Disable Particle Effects”.</bullet>
			<bullet>While in “Display Mode”, you can also try setting the display size as low as possible (Probably 640x480) so that the computer has less pixels to render. You can still display the result in a large size if you tick “Run FullScreen”.</bullet>
			<bullet>Go to the Setup tab, choose “Camera Configuration” and tick “Run Camera at Lower Resolution”. This will change the camera resolution from 640x480 to 320x240.</bullet>
			<bullet>While in “Camera Configuration”, click on “Configure Camera”. Some cameras let you decrease “USB Bandwidth” to increase speed. If you are using a USB 2 camera with a slow computer, you may find that a USB 1 camera does not slow down the computer as much.</bullet>

		<title>Installing a Web Camera</title>
		<section>

			<title>Overview</title>
			<text>This section of help is designed to provide general instructions that should help with installing most models of web cameras.</text>
			<bullet>Because these instructions have been generalised, the install process of some models of web cameras may be slightly different. Please refer to the “Setup Instructions” that came with your web camera for more details.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s1</image>
			<title>Step 1</title>
			<text>Note that these instructions assume you have purchased a web camera (webcam) in addition to your Imaginality Unleashed Software</text>
			<bullet>Any good quality USB webcam should work, though you will have a better experience with a webcam that supports a hardware resolution of at least 300k pixels (640*480). We recommend the Imaginality Eye.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s2</image>
			<title>Step 2</title>
			<text>First, make sure the web camera is not plugged in yet.</text>
			<bullet>If it is plugged in, please unplug it and cancel out of any windows that might have appeared, such as “New Hardware Found”.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s3</image>
			<title>Step 3</title>
			<text>Put the CD labelled “Web Camera Driver” (or similar name) in the CD-ROM drive.
				Wait for the Install Menu to auto-load.
			</text>
			<bullet>You will need Administrator Rights to complete this process. If necessary, contact your system administrator.</bullet>
			<bullet>If the menu does not auto-load within 20 seconds, go to “My Computer”, double-click the CD-ROM drive and double-click “Setup”.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s4</image>
			<title>Step 4</title>
			<text>Follow the instructions on screen.
				Take the booklet labelled “Setup Instructions” (or similar name) out of the camera's box and refer to it for details.
				Wait for the installation to finish.
			</text>
			<bullet>Remember that because these instructions have been generalised, the install process of some models of web cameras may be slightly different.</bullet>
			<bullet>Please refer to the “Setup Instructions” that came with your web camera for more details.</bullet>
			<bullet>Some of the components may take a couple of minutes to install.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s5</image>
			<title>Step 5</title>
			<text>Once installation is complete, you will be told to plug the Web Camera into an available USB slot. Do as instructed.</text>
			<bullet>Some camera software may require the computer to be rebooted before the camera can be plugged in.</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s6</image>
			<title>Step 6</title>
			<text>Once the camera is connected, the computer will detect the Web Camera and need to finish installing the drivers.</text>
			<bullet>Follow the procedure shown in the camera's documentation</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s7</image>
			<title>Step 7</title>
			<text>The computer may detect that the Web Camera has a microphone, in which case, repeat the camera's video driver install procedure.</text>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s8</image>
			<title>Step 8</title>
			<text>Test the Web Camera by pushing its button. This Will load a video-capture or still-capture program.</text>
			<bullet>If the camera does not have a button, load the video preview software installed with the camera (for example, Amcap.exe).</bullet>
		</section>
		<section>
			<image>web_cam/s9</image>
			<title>Step 9</title>
			<text>If the video or image appears acceptable, then you have finished installing the Web Camera.</text>
			<bullet>If not, consult the trouble-shooting section of your manual.</bullet>
