Using the location data from Dashware, create pins on the floorplan that correspond with each panorama’s location (applicable 3DVista tutorial video). Create a “floorplan” using a map of the study area.If using a GoPro MAX, the location data can be accessed by using this tool. This is done by uploading the raw, front camera (NOT rendered footage or raw footage from back camera) mp4 footage file to Dashware, which will extract the CSV file that contains location information ( tutorial video). This can either be from field notes taken at the scene in question, or from the raw footage if using a GoPro Fusion. This is where you will find the exact scene you’d like and extract the panorama ( tutorial video). Upload these videos to Adobe Premiere Pro.Then, in the top left of the window go to the “Edit” drop down menu and choose “Extract Current Frame.” Then skip to step 4. If using the GoPro MAX, open up the footage file in the GoPro Player and go to the scene that you’d like to use as a panorama. If using GoPro Fusion, render short pieces of video (10-20 seconds) using Fusion Studio that include the scene you want as a panorama, or a single standing location, in the tour.We use GoPro Fusion and GoPro MAX cameras because our teams record in tough conditions and often don’t have space in their backpacks for a larger rig, nor time to setup a more complex camera system. These are the general steps to create one of our virtual tours: To share your tour with the world, you will need to have access to a web server, or use 3DVista’s available hosting services ( ). At the Byrd Center, we use the Bitvise SSH Client ( ) to transfer local files generated from 3DVista to our server ( ) and create the weblink. Our team has not had a chance to explore this option, and Google announced that it will shut down in July 2021 with similar tools available in Google Earth for Web ( ). Google began offering a new option called Tour Creator ( ). Kira Harris created two tutorial videos that explain how we use tools in Adobe and Dashware to bring content into 3DVista. We also use Fusion Studio, GoPro Player, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Dashware for pre-processing video and extracting GPS coordinates. They have their own YouTube channel that posts helpful tutorials and updates. In order to build VR tours of our field sites we use a software program called 3DVista ( ). This resource was created by Kira Harris in 2019 and updated by Adelyn Arens in March 2022.
