Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This is a hands-on filmmaking course in 360° Virtual Reality video creation, built for history and humanities students and taught through active practice rather than lecture. Students learn the full production pipeline: shooting on a professional 360 camera, editing spherical footage, and publishing to a headset or any web browser and apply it to real historical sites around Vienna. The craft at its center is placement: because 360 removes both the cut and the frame, where you put the camera becomes the entire argument. Students finish the term with a portfolio of complete immersive pieces and a transferable production skillset suited to public history and museum work, where the VR format has found its most durable home.
