Description
Summary:This report describes new methods for capturing 360-degree video content of Antarctic experts describing their work from Antarctica. In addition, the report describes the use of virtual reality (VR) techniques for creating engaging viewing experiences for consumers of the captured video. Several videos were captured in Christchurch of subject matter experts taking about their work, and lessons learned from these capture sessions were used in designing further capture sessions carried out in Antarctica. The report includes links to viewable examples of the various concepts and techniques developed for this project, and ends by providing a set of new camera-shot types that uniquely apply to the new medium of 360-degree video.
