So I started exploring already existing 360 immersive image content from different places, and naturally the first place one would think of is google street view. While trying to figure out how to access the images from google street view and use them in some sort of exchange platform, I also realized that it was possible to create 360 images from a regular (2D) phone camera using the google street view app, which inspired me to think more about a platform for an exchange of immersive narratives from different places and people. | So I started exploring already existing 360 immersive image content from different places, and naturally the first place one would think of is google street view.

To set up the first examples, I reflected upon the theme of “home” which is at once a universal one, and one that is (perhaps not so evidently) very abstract. The theme of “home” is an especially conceptual one for me personally, as I have lived in so many different places, and through time and space, “home” has become very clearly an “abstract state of mind”, that moves throughout different spaces and times, and yet each “place” that I have experiencing life in still stands out as a different “home” in its own way. | To set up the first examples, I reflected upon the theme of “home” which is at once a universal one, and one that is (perhaps not so evidently) very abstract.

I did a virtual spacetime travel of looking up all the locations that I have ever lived in (“lived” being very loosely defined as somewhere I have spent time for at least a month (which of course is an arbitrary definition)) in google street view and downloading their corresponding 360 images. I added all of these images to a scenario that one travels through, and these images in themselves became already an “immersive essay” to me – an essay with no words – perhaps that is the strongest? | I did a virtual spacetime travel of looking up all the locations that I have ever lived in (“lived” being very loosely defined as somewhere I have spent time for at least a month (which of course is an arbitrary definition)) in google street view and downloading their corresponding 360 images.
