Hello and thank you for the comment. I am personally a 3D, VR, and 360 enthusiast. I think if you've been bitten by the bug with a good first immersive experience, you keep looking for more. With that said, 360 video requires effort on behalf of the audience. The audience must actively participate or what they see may not be relevant. For example, someone could spend an entire video looking in the wrong direction at nothing in particular. That may sound like I am accusing the audience of being lazy, but there is a time and place for each genre. Traditional 2D videos are ideal if you want to give the audience a fixed story they can consume passively. For this video in particular, there were already ship tours that gave a good, selective overview to anyone interested in Antarctic cruising in general. I think my video fills a secondary role where someone is specifically considering the Ultramarine. 360 video gives that audience the ability to see everything about the ship. Does that make any sense? Thanks again for reaching out. I will definitely check out your videos now. 🙂
@@ChrisOwenHalper Thank you for your insight on 3D content. I agree with everything you mentioned. I fell in love with VR when we purchased an Oculus VR. I was looking everywhere for VR videos that were interesting. I will try uploading a 360 video on our next cruise to see the response. Are there any other VR platforms you recommend or upload to?
@@thankfuljourneys As an early adopter, I uploaded to a number of platforms when content was weak. Veer, InceptionVR, and others. Production standards have improved. I don't know if my early productions would qualify now... and that is a good thing overall. I encourage you to try. Let me know if you get anything published.
Great video Chris. I have been thinking about uploading 360 content but they do not seem to be popular. Any idea why they are not as popular?
