Abstract
This research, following an iterative approach, explores the viability of digital 360° imagery as a narrative device for river settings, while the artifact produced in the final iteration has potential as an educational and wellness tool. The literature review section of this paper examines useful concepts and methods from early works in this arena. The methodology section presents the production details of a 360° virtual guide to the Chattahoochee River through points of interest. Video and static-image VR presentations are fleshed out and contrasted for their strengths and weaknesses. These presentations are offered within responsive, Javascript-driven web apps and make use of the ThreeJS graphical framework to extend functionality to both desktop and mobile devices.
One conclusion, reached after iterating through the design process, finds the video presentation to be most engaging as a narrative device, while the static-image presentation is more useful for record-keeping and data capture. Extensions to this work might include embedding graphics inside the virtual scene to identify gaze highlights and provide additional context.
