Amazing 360-degree tour of Katrina damage

Cory Bergman August 31st, 2006

One of the big challenges of covering Katrina on any medium is communicating the scope of the devastation. But a new 360-degree interactive tour on MSNBC’s Rising from Ruin does the best job I’ve seen so far. It starts with a draggable, zoomable map of two coastal Mississippi towns, and you can click on various icons to see 360-degree photos and video, as well as more traditional audio slide shows. The video is truly amazing (screen shot below), some shot from a vehicle, others are walking shots. In some cases, the video is accompanied with narration. He’ll say, “As you’ll see on the left,” and I’ll pan the camera over to the left to see what’s he’s talking about. A terrific way to immerse the user, and some amazing technology.
