Case Study: 3D-360 for education

The New Zealand Virtual Reality Project (NZVR) was started five years ago to give young Kiwis a virtually real experience of their wild places, particularly underwater. In that time the team has delivered a million VR experiences over web, social and in schools.

“To get the real effect of a virtual experience, you have to feel like you’re really there,” says the project’s Director of Photographer Richard Robinson. “So most of the shots are by remote... hanging a camera under a drone, propping it up on a tripod, swinging it under a mooring float... anything to get the camera operator out of the picture.”
