360 Degrees of Sequoia
Kings National Park makes these distant or difficult-to-access
locations accessible to teachers, students, and park service
personnel. The interpretive program makes it possible to explore
and learn about sites that people want to visit but cannot,
either due to distance, weather, lack of accessibility, or
simply because some sites are always closed to the public.
However, if you have had the pleasure of visiting the National
Park in person, the 360-degree Virtual Tour is a terrific
way to share your experience with friends and family. We help
you take nature home!

"As a computer specialist for Mesa Verde National Park, I was
surprised the park did not have more hands-on or interactive programs
for visitors when I joined the park in 2001. Most of the exhibits
contain historical artifacts behind glass, which is great for displaying
items to our visitors. The technology era we now live in supports
so much more for people to see and do when they vacation. The 360
degree exhibit Four Chambers installed at the Far View Visitor Center
assists Mesa Verde National Park to provide an interactive medium
for presenting important cultural resources of the park to our visitors.
Especially to people who may not be able to attend live tours in
the cliff dwellings. The 360 degree virtual tour application can
take them there and provide essential interpretive information about
cultural resources of the park. In my opinion, the virtual tours
are a great way to expand our visitation to Mesa Verde."
