class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Video captured with an Insta 360 camera and tripod <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Each video was one take, simply a two minute video of the class or rehearsal in action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Scenes linked together into a ThingLink virtual experience, with the rooms linked together via transit tags, and the experience entered via a theater front door 2D image. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The entire time to create the whole&nbsp;ThingLink&nbsp;virtual tour, including shooting footage, was only five hours.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The tour will hopefully be shared on the department page from fall of 2025.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>360 video content allows the viewer a more immersive experience than a still 360 image alone, and gives a reflection of what they might experience during student life.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Can easily be sent to prospective students by URL in an email, viewed on any device, with the 360s also viewable in VR headsets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The virtual tour was created by the theater arts department of Texas Christian University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/card\n\/1920666945573618341\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\"
