Benthos 360

Our project brings together multiple disciplines and leverages different VR/360 cameras, which were tested locally before filming onsite at the Clinch River, ground zero for mussels extinction. We designed a special underwater camera mount (which we hope to patent) and used a hydrophone to capture immersive sonic environments underwater. We used VR post-production tools to edit our footage and design the spatial sound. We did audience-testing in the Cube at the VT Science Festival last fall.
