Haiti 360

With all the news about the disaster in Haiti, one of the more interesting things I’ve seen technologically recently came from there. I’ve seen 360 videos before, going all the way back to Quicktime VR and such. But this absolutely fascinates me.

This video was shot on January 18th, and while watching it, you are able to use your mouse to look in any direction, up or down as well. Pretty stunning to say the least. And what an incredible way to provide students a window into the area.

Can’t speak for you, but I’d love to see them run this through the Grand Canyon… or around Washington DC… or through an excavation site.

I could see this as an incredible learning tool for students studying geographic regions of third world countries.

Steve, Thanks for the post. I love the idea of using this in the classroom. Are there other sites that use this type of film media? How is this type of filming done?
