In this article about the Chrome Library, you will add more interactivity to the car scene you created in my first and third articles. The W3D files for the car are now freely downloadable, so you can build the scene for yourself and experiment with it. The Chrome Library is available at the following address: www.chromelib.com

I will also show different uses of the User Interface behaviors including the Overlay Slider User Interface behavior.
