Admire the View from Hadrian’s Wall in 360

Description

In this 360 video we take you to the famous English heritage site of Hadrian’s Wall, giving you a glimpse of the Housesteads Roman Fort and the view from the Wall itself. The video is narrated by Roman re-enactor and historian Roy Lawson, who shares some fascinating facts on specific features of the site, including when the wall was built, the living conditions of the soldiers patrolling the fort and where the barracks were stationed.

Level of Guidance

What does this mean?

The Level of Guidance indicates how much the creator has imbued the video with a sense of at what the viewer should be looking.

For instance, a Level 1 video would mean that the camera has been left in place while life happens around it, allowing you, as the viewer, to simply observe. A Level 2 video might incorporate subtle visual, textual or audible hints or simple transitions. A Level 3 video would rely on a handful of hints and transition. A Level 4 video would employ multiple hints and dialogue. And a Level 5 video would rely on all of the above as well as a narrative arc that pushes the viewer forward.

Another way of looking at this would be how much production went into the video if you are considering making one of your own like it.
