Create better VR/360 experiences by listening to your audience — RJI fellowship
(Part 2)
A few classmates and I explored the ins and outs of virtual reality journalism for our Convergence Journalism capstone project in partnership with the Reynolds Journalism Institute in 2019.
​
We worked with Thomas Seymat, a Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow and VR Editor of Euronews, who "developed a mock-up of a tool for immersive (360 video/VR) content creators so they can test their content and gather qualitative data on how their audience experiences it."
​
My team and I analyzed the experiences of over 70 immersive content creators through interviews, a survey and tests of a low-fidelity mockup of the tool to discover better ways audiences can experience virtual journalism.
