An Interactive and Spherical Panorama for Multicultural City Exploration

Published: 02 July 2018 Publication History

Abstract

With the advance of spherical panorama technologies, some organizations have started to apply it to the virtual exploration of physical world. However, whether such technologies could be used for city exploration and education deserves in-depth studies. In this research, an interactive and spherical panorama system was developed to study the possibilities of introducing an international city with diverse cultures for students. The content of experiment was the popular and multicultural attractions in San Francisco. Twenty students were invited to conduct the experiment and interact with the system. The participant completed a post-experiment questionnaire and offered their evaluation from the perspectives of manipulation and content exploration. The results indicated that the system could increase the motivation for learning the diverse cultures of international cities.
