Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

1️⃣ Participants will learn strategies for capturing 360° photos - from the Street View app on a phone or 360° camera such as a Ricoh Theta S. We’ll also discuss apps such as 360Schools which provide 360 images

2️⃣Participants will see examples of different types of projects which incorporate 360° photos and videos. They will be able to frame a project they would create using 360° photos - which they capture or from samples provided.

3️⃣ I will cover the fundamentals of the core apps - covering the strengths and limitations of each app. Participants will create a project using 360° photos from a sample folder of images.

4️⃣ Participants will learn about options for sharing finished projects - including how to view on a computer, phone or tablet and using a VR headset or Google Cardboard.
