eTV is currently piloting a teaching and learning technology that allows students to experience spaces without ever having to physically travel there. The eTV pilot offers a 360° panorama of our Studio A – Paramedicine classroom. Incorporating images, video, and interactive activities, users can explore the classroom, travel to one of our rural sites in Portage, and learn about the streaming process. As we continue to develop this pilot, we are looking into 3D imaging as well as 360° 3D video with Oculus technology to offer users a fully immersive experience.
