open the door…

I 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…
