How Are Schools & Universities Using 360 VR?

The world is in a constant state of update. Technology is evolving while industries are growing and changing more each day. There is so much competition for consumers’ attention that the old ways are no longer enough. Staying ahead in this new age calls for a fresh creative approach, and innovative marketing methods. 
 
Media must do more than simply grab attention; it needs to fully immerse viewers into dynamic worlds and stories. Which brings us to 360 VR Videos… 
 
VR 360? What is that? 
Unlike traditional videos that display one image at a time, 360 VR videos present the full experience. It is all possible with 360 cameras that record every direction at the same time. This allows viewers to look around augmented environments as they would in real life. Additionally, the magic of editing allows us to weave visuals and sounds into the surroundings, thereby upgrading the way information is delivered. 
 
So How is it Useful? 
360 VR has numerous applications across various sectors, particularly real estate, tourism, and education. The technology allows businesses to offer their customers a better, more immersive look at their products and services. Through 360 virtual  tours, a buyer can look around prospective homes years before they are built, and a tourist can explore a site or a hotel before they buy a plane ticket. 
 
Educational institutions can use 360 VR media to showcase their facilities to potential users while reinforcing their brand image. A traditional video can merely offer a brief highlight of a school, a 360 VR video lets parents experience the school from the eyes of a student.  
If your school’s premium quality and high standards are to stand out amongst international competition, marketing with 360 VR is the logical choice. 
 
Can it really make a difference for Students? 
With a staggering amount of options to choose from, 77% of students visit school and university websites at least 2 weeks before making a decision. Generating interest and a lasting impression is vital to increasing enrollment, and there is no better way to do that than with a virtual 360 tour. 
 
Take prospective students and parents on a digital tour of your facilities, including classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, sports complexes, and performing arts centers. Expand your reach to international, transferring students by taking them on a tour from halfway around the world. Virtual 360 tours give you the power to host a larger number of visitors without the increased COVID risks.  
 
Choosing education is an important decision made easier with a 360 Virtual tour.
