Integrating 360° Videos in an Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratory Course
Ardisara, Alvita; Fung, Fun Man
Journal of Chemical Education, v95 n10 p1881-1884 Oct 2018
With 360° cameras becoming increasingly available at affordable costs, 360° videos have been gaining momentum online as an exciting visual medium that engages viewers in an immersive 360° panoramic view. In this report, we share insights of our experience in using 360° cameras to capture several laboratory techniques in an undergraduate organic chemistry course and raise pertinent issues regarding the 360° videos. In summary, we found that 360° videos add value in terms of its large field of view, but pose some potential problems in terms of disorientation and lack of focus.
