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 similar iPhone apps). These photos can then be viewed on virtual reality viewers and desktop/mobile browsers (use the cursor to rotate the image). Here are some potential uses for 360 degree photos in physical education:

• Interesting new format for class/school/event photos​.

• Simulate tactical decision making in a 1st person view of view.

• Share more detailed & complete views of your teaching space with others.

360 degree video cameras are becoming more affordable and in better resolutions. These videos can then be viewed on virtual reality viewers and desktop/mobile browsers (use the cursor to rotate the image). While 360 degree videos are not quite virtual reality, they do have many potential uses in (physical) education such as:

• Providing campus/facilities tour online.
• ​​Recording lessons for reflection.

• Recording and reviewing conference sessions.
• ​Recording and reviewing athletic practices/performances.

using 360 videos for 4-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).

Using 360 Videos for Dance Showcases

This dance (Merengue Mixer) was filmed with the camera hanging from the ceiling. This technique allows you to showcase all students and is great for parents. It can also be used to assess students' performances. Use the cursor to move the video around to see each dancer!
