Developing reflective trainee teacher practice with 360-degree video

Being a teacher: developing teacher identity and enhancing practice through metacognitive and reflective learning processes

The discourse of reflection is now firmly embedded in a range of teacher education programs in Australia and overseas. Reflective frameworks have been used by teacher educators to offset the perennial emphasis on technically prescriptive interpretations of ‘being a teacher’. Whilst these undoubtedly contribute to the personal ‘meaning making’ of neophyte teachers, particularly in relation to pr...

Virtual displays for 360-degree video

In this paper we describe a novel approach for comparing users' spatial cognition when using different depictions of 360degree video on a traditional 2D display. By using virtual cameras within a game engine and texture mapping of these camera feeds to an arbitrary shape, we were able to offer users a 360-degree interface composed of four 90-degree views, two 180-degree views, or one 360-degree...

360-Degree Video Head Movement Dataset

While Virtual Reality applications are increasingly attracting the attention of developers and business analysts, the behaviour of users watching 360-degree (i.e. omnidirectional) videos has not been thoroughly studied yet. This paper introduces a dataset of head movements of users watching 360-degree videos on a Head-Mounted Display (HMD). The dataset includes data collected from 59 users watc...

A Measurement Study of Oculus 360 Degree Video Streaming

360 degree video is a new generation of video streaming technology that promises greater immersiveness than standard video streams. This level of immersiveness is similar to that produced by virtual reality devices – users can control the eld of view using head movements rather than needing to manipulate external devices. Although 360 degree video could revolutionize streaming technology, large...
