Session Description
Software like Google Expeditions coupled with low-cost VR viewers (i.e. Google Cardboard) have democratized low-cost VR field trips, giving students an opportunity to explore a plethora of locales in an immersive 360 degree setting. Given the immense amount of visual, auditory and contextual information that may be present in an immersive 360-degree video, managing cognitive load is essential so the learner can actively filter, select, organize, and integrate pertinent information.
This presentation describes the creation of an immersive 360 degree four-minute narrated video (https://youtu.be/4UL_rN_1skQ) on the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) He‘eia National Estuarine Research Reserve. Lessons learned and the potential of developing virtual reality (VR) coral reef monitoring training for citizen scientists will be discussed.
