[Coral-List] Underwater 360 imagery/VR dives

[Jon slayer]

Hi Geoff,

We've been capturing underwater 360 content since Google first introduced consumer 360 cameras into the market to provide user generated content for Street View. We've been taking 360 cameras underwater since aiming to share the underwater environment to a wider audience than those who wear scuba gear and get beneath the surface. There is a full range of equipment from affordable to very expensive available to capture your own content. I also have an archive of 360 content that we have captured, mostly of tropical coral reefs but also ranging into temperate waters.

Some samples below

It is also possible to affordably live stream 360 content https://youtu.be/G9PpOcSGJtI

The same systems above will capture stills that you can share https://goo.gl/maps/p9nUfeLynWRbmDdh6

Happy to help with content or advice.

Thanks

Jon

Subject: [Coral-List] Underwater 360 imagery/VR dives

Greetings Listers,
I hope this note finds you well.
I'm writing to ask if anyone out there has experience obtaining underwater 360 imagery. I am interested in using this kind of imagery to create "virtual dives" that can be experienced via Oculus2 headsets for the purpose of teaching students about the marine environment.
While taking students underwater on SCUBA would be preferable, that option is not possible at my institution so I am trying to determine if a virtual approach would be feasible.
My sincere thanks in advance for any tips you are willing to offer about relevant equipment, app building, etc.
Wishing you all the very best.Geoff
