360 Degree Photos and Videos in Physical Education

360 degree photos and videos provide viewers with additional context and perspectives. They can be viewed on web browsers (use the mouse cursor to move the image) or using specific viewers like Google Cardboard.

​Here are some potential uses in (physical) education:
  • Create a virtual classroom for remote instruction.
  • ​​Providing campus/facilities tour online.
  • Recording lessons for reflection.
  • Recording and reviewing conference sessions.
  • ​Recording and reviewing athletic practices/performances.
  • Share more detailed & complete views of your teaching space with others.
  • ​Simulate tactical decision making in a 1st person view of view.
  • Take interesting class/school/event photos​.

Use Case 6 - Four Wall Dances

Software that comes with 360 degree cameras (at least mine) allows you to take a 360 degree video and edit it into a "Point of View" (POV) video. Why is this important? Traditionally, when 4-wall dances changes directions (rotates 90 degrees) the view changes from watching the dancers from behind (matching), to a side view, then to a front view (mirror), to another side view, and then back to watching from behind. With a POV video students will always see a matching perspective, which should be much easier to follow along. Use a projector for one wall and use yourself for the opposite wall (this ensures students can always see a demonstrator).
