Guided Tour Inside Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor

Description

As a part of our #Eyemmersive project, this 360-degrees video was captured inside the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine. Not many would have means and opportunities to take this adventurous trip, hence the purpose of our project is to provide an alternative mode leveraging on next generation technologies to provide closer to reality through VR-experience.

What Works Well

This video takes the viewer along on a walking tour of the Chernobyl containment facilities in Ukraine over 30 years after the disaster.

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.
