Description:  The best option on the market to fully immerse your readers within an experience is 360°/VR content.  CCMA uses ThingLink to provide their readers with a 360° walk-through recap of a national holiday celebration. Click the arrows in this scene to navigate through the main highlights and background audio is used to provide extra immersion within each scene. These sound bites include speeches, music, and ambient noises heard at the celebration.  Viewing this content within a VR headset gives readers a direct experience of the event from anywhere in the world. 

Tip: 360° content is a young new player in the digital media landscape, but one that should be taken seriously.  Does a 360° project like this peak interest, but you need help capturing the assets? ThingLink offers two affordable bundles for capturing high-quality 360° degree assets, as well as making them interactive – learn more).  These do-it-yourself methods require no professional experience, image editing skills, or coding knowledge.
