360 Degree Photos and Videos in Physical Education
Cardboard Camera is a free and simple to use app from Google that allows you to take 360 degree photos on an Android phone (there are also iPhone apps). These photos can then be viewed on virtual reality viewers, mobile devices, computers, and on websites (embedded through through 3rd party sites such as HoloBuilder and Spherecast; also see Tour Creator). Here are some potential uses for 360 degree photos in physical education:

360 degree video cameras are becoming more affordable and in better resolutions (see this article for tips on creating your own 360 videos). While 360 degree videos are not quite virtual reality, they do have many potential uses in education such as:

using 360 videos for 4-wall dances
Software that comes with 360 degree cameras (at least mine) allows you to take a 360 video and edit it into a Point of View 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).
