You can zoom in on things for close-up -- to read signs better, for example. You can pull back for wide view. You can look all around. Without moving your avatar.

To zoom in on an object: put your cursor on the object. Hold down Alt. The cursor will change to a rectangular magnifying glass with a plus sign in it.
-
Keep holding down alt key. Hold the left mouse key down. Roll your scroll wheel. Move your mouse around and note what happens. Press your arrow keys and see what happens.

You can do a lot more with this, especially if you are sitting.

To zoom in or out:
Put your cursor on what you want in the center of the picture.
Press Alt and hold it down. The cursor will change to a rectangle with a plus sign in it.

Press page up and page down.
