Virtual Yosemite ~ Behind the Scenes with Scott Highton - An IVRPA Webinar
On Saturday, March 25, 2023, the International Virtual Reality Professionals Association (IVRPA) presented Virtual Yosemite photographer and author Scott Highton in a "Behind the Scenes" webinar looking at the production and ongoing development of the landmark Virtual Yosemite web tour.
Here is a full transcript with added graphics https://www.virtualyosemite.org/ivrpa...
The project – first released in July, 2019 – remains one of the most comprehensive and popular VR tours on the internet. Virtual Yosemite currently features over 400 high-resolution 360° photographic VR locations in and around one of the United States' most spectacular national parks.
This webinar will not be a simple showing of the tour. We look behind the scenes to learn all its secrets. For instance:
What does it take to produce such a massive project -- nearly 400 panos with integrated maps, directional sound, and text?
How do you monetize it?
What lessons have been learned?
What benefits were gained?
What is the origin story?
How do you plan such an undertaking?
You will learn things in this presentation that can help up the game for your projects.
During Covid, there were many roundups of the best virtual tours or visits in media worldwide. Virtual Yosemite featured prominently in nearly all of them. If you haven’t seen it, take some time to explore Virtual Yosemite for yourself at https://www.virtualyosemite.org/
