360Heros & RYOT News are New Partners in Immersive Jounalism
360HEROS Partners with RYOT
We're proud to announce that we're partnering with our friends at RYOT News to support their efforts in immersive 360-degree reporting.
RYOT has been leading the charge into immersive journalism as they use virtual reality to promote awareness and action across the globe. Some of the key issues and events they've shed light on via 360 video include Nepal's devastating earthquake, wild dolphin conservation, the Syrian refugee crisis and climate change in China....
RYOT News Dolphin VR PSA
One of RYOT's early 360-degree VR experiences came in the form of a virtual reality PSA to raise awareness for the humane treatment of dolphins. Filmed with our 360Abyss underwater 360 video gear, the project offers viewers an immersive look at wild dolphins in their natural habitat.
Produced in conjunction with Ric O’Barry’s Dolphin Project, the PSA takes us on a virtual dive and seeks to end harmful dolphin captivity.
While this is just a small sample of RYOT's 360 video content, it offers a window into the way in which they leverage VR to create impact content that goes beyond traditional forms of news media. We're proud to support RYOT in this endeavor as they seek to keep pushing the boundaries of immersive journalism.
