Student Recruitment Made Easier with ThingLink

Kyla Ball

Virtual tours of a university theater department using 360 videos

Key features

  • Video captured with an Insta 360 camera and tripod
  • Each video was one take, simply a two minute video of the class or rehearsal in action.
  • Scenes linked together into a ThingLink virtual experience, with the rooms linked together via transit tags, and the experience entered via a theater front door 2D image.
  • The entire time to create the whole ThingLink virtual tour, including shooting footage, was only five hours. 
  • The tour will hopefully be shared on the department page from fall of 2025. 
  • 360 video content allows the viewer a more immersive experience than a still 360 image alone, and gives a reflection of what they might experience during student life.
  • Can easily be sent to prospective students by URL in an email, viewed on any device, with the 360s also viewable in VR headsets.

The virtual tour was created by the theater arts department of Texas Christian University.
