Testing Immersive video
Posted by: janning in Tools, Web 2.0, fun, tags: Add new tag, video, virtual toursI came across the Immersive Media site at work today and wanted to make sure that I could embed the code into edublogs. (Edublogs has been a bit touchy about embedding code recently)
As you can see below, the embed code works – now all I have to do is persuade the ‘powers that be’ at work that it is a suitable topic to write about on the work blog. Wish me luck!
Instructions: Click the Play button. Wait for the splash screen to play then use your mouse to click and drag to look in any direction in the video.
This first video is
New Guinea
Immerse yourself in the native traditional song and dance**
and this is
Fiji Coral Reef
Underwater and on deck in the South Pacific.**
There are more demonstration videos and a city tours GeoImmersive Database. Love the use of Google Maps
Makes you wonder how these could be used in an education setting…

Hi Jean,
3D video – I want a video camera that does that. Very, very cool. Would be great on a big screen too.
I used to make QTVR but nothing is as engaging as video. Check out this virtual tour of a classroom I did when I taught English in Japan: http://want.jetalumni.org/vrtour.htm
Thanks for sharing
