The JPL Multimedia website includes the following:
Eyes on the Solar System
Curiosity Rover Landing on Mars is an in-depth Java application which uses real-time data to show the current status of the Mars mission. The interface has many settings and takes some exploration to operate.
This application may take a while to load.
Curiosity's Descent
Follow Curiosity's descent to Mars is an animation depicts the now-famous descent sequence in real time. (The "play" button is on the upper right of the screen.) The viewer can pause the action and manually adjust the event time. Each stage has an onscreen description.
Also the motion can be forwarded or reversed by using the window's scroll bar.
Curiosity Photosynth interactive image
The Mars Science Laboratory Rover in the JPL Mars Yard uses Microsoft "Photosynth" process to give a pseudo-3d view of the test rover on earth. The app uses several hundred individual photos taken of the rover from different angles, and combines them into a whole.
Unfortunately, the photo series is too uneven to give a clear illusion of a 3-dimensional object. Dragging the cursor to rotate the view gives a jumpy and jumbled effect. However, the page provides a good collection of perspectives.
