VR Photography Trial Run!

Students will shoot some photographs in 360/3D and contemplate how the new medium demands new grammars.

Download and set up Google's Cardboard Camera on your Smartphone.
Take 5 360/3D photos around campus, activities, home, etc. and post them to your blog.

Here's how to post 360 Cardboard Camera pics to your blog or website.
Go to https://sphcst.com/upload and post your pics.
Use the SHARE button (bottom left) to bring up the embed code.
Place the embed code in the HTML code of your blog to post interactive 360 photos.



Post a few thoughts on your photos, answering such questions as:

  • How do I use existing rules of photography to take good pics in 360?
  • What rules no longer obtain in the new medium?
  • What are some issues I need to address with new grammars?
 We will also compare Cardboard Camera 360 photos with spherical images like this (shot with a Theta S camera) spherical image:
