Workshop: VR techniques that every newsroom can implement

14:00-15:00

Emblematic Group is one of the world’s leading producers of immersive virtual reality content. Emblematic has collaborated with media partners including The New York Times, Google, the Associated Press, and Al Jazeera America. In 2016 the company was awarded a grant from the Knight Foundation to produce a series of VR documentaries in partnership with Frontline, and to collaborate on crafting and disseminating best practices for virtual reality journalism.

The workshop will start with 360 video and then dive more deeply into photogrammetry (image capture for 3D environment construction) and when to use each technique.    It would be helpful if attendees brought their own cameras to try some techniques themselves. Regular point and shoots should be good but DSLRs are preferred.
