Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

For educators, 360º technology offers maximum field of view within a single immersive image. Now, the full scene can be documented and presented in stunning 8K resolution. Using such images will require active involvement by the students in order to explore and navigate into these amazingly captured visual content.

I want my students to be able to experience entire environments in a meaningful, constructive way, to gather and evaluate relevant information.

When immersive images are used as part of a curriculum they generate interest and provide a simulated experience of “actual reality.” The students will become more interested in academic content after a real or virtual field trip that brings the subject matter to life and gives them a realistic experience. Since most students have limited opportunity to visit sites relevant to their lessons, immersive images fill an important need.

One of the applications I want to create with this 360º camera is virtual field trips! This is perhaps the most obvious example and in many ways, it may be one of the most powerful. Taking this camera on school field trips, or weekend excursions, and allowing the student to (re)visit later is captivating. Capturing school events will take on a completely different approach. The 360º camera will allow for capturing any event without worrying about where to focus. We can watch these events on the VR headsets or devices in a way that was not achievable previously. With so many possibilities, it is hard to put limits on what can be produced with this kind of technology.
