360 Parks: Testimonials from National Parks and Cooperating Associations

"Your 360 degree product has been one of the most outstanding products to come along in a very long time. Your product provides visitors to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park an opportunity to view areas of the inner canyon that most would never have the opportunity to view in person. This added perspective helps people to understand the diversity of this resource and adds value to their educational experience. As educators in support of this world-class resource, we applaud the quality of your product and would like to thank you for its development."

"From the initial consultation with Four-Chambers, Gene and Naomi were very prompt in their efforts to get started on the project. Once started things went very smoothly and they were very thorough. Their communication skills, their eagerness and willingness to help with all entities involved in the process was outstanding. After all of the hard work that they put into this not to mention all of the new caving skills they had to acquire the finished product was outstanding and beyond any of our expectations. We here at CCGMA and on behalf on the Carlsbad Caverns National Park are very proud and privileged to have been involved with such dedication and professionalism that Four-Chambers exuded. We would definitely welcome them in any further 360 projects that may arise."

"Your virtual tour of Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the best ideas and well executed projects that I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with. This product and its visual presentation is amazing, it immediately became one of our best selling products, and our visitors absolutely love the interpretive values.

As soon as we saw your Mesa Verde product we knew this would be the perfect way to provide a means of access to the areas of the park and fort that are usually off-limits to the public. The opportunity to provide such a quality product in less than 4 months from start to finish, along with the installation of an interactive display in our visitor center, was hard to believe. Your offer of donating your labor and production costs is unheard of given the degree of collaboration and effort you put into the project.

We are very pleased to have such a viable interpretive sales item. As we are continuing to do another exciting project with your company, we encourage anyone planning to do take on such an historical endeavor to please get in touch with you. A great product … and we will continue to tax your skills for many more!"

"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 Gene Cooper 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."
