In this paper, we propose a whole system to enable navigation inside a 3D object for a 3D desktop environment. It is made of a crystal ball, a map system and a guided visit. The "crystal ball" is used to contain and display the 3D object. This opens a space in the desktop while keeping its functionalities. The map system inspired from the World In Miniature helps the user to have a representation of the environment's topology. At last, a collaborative navigation is possible by allowing one user to guide another one.
