VRTY STUDENT HANDBOOK01Useful Words1360 Images & Videos are what VRTY uses to create VR / Interactive 360º experiences.These files are captured in a 360 field of vision using a 360 camera. Viewers can lookor scroll all around a Scene, but cannot walk around (Example in page 05).2Scenes represent a 360º image or video. Think of them as rooms in a house that youcan visit and walk through. In the Storyboard, it refers to a box that only holds one 360ºimage or video.3Storyboard is for creators to map out their VR / Interactive 360º project journey(Example in page 04).4Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of technology to create a simulated environment.
