3D/360 Virtual Tours / 360 Video | #StandWithUkraine

Hi All,

Share your 3D/360 Virtual Tours and 360 Video for Stand with Ukraine to this WGAN Forum discussion to show how 3D/360 media are being used to help tell the Stand with Ukraine story.

Above are a 360 Virtual Tour and 360 Video from the Stand With Ukraine Rally in Atlanta on Saturday, 5 March 2022. The Rally was organized by the Ukrainian Community of Atlanta.

In addition to Standing With Ukraine Saturday, I create content for news media. (I am 25 percent Ukrainian. My mother's father immigrated to the United States when he was five.)

Dan

P.S. I also shot regular video (in this Dropbox) to distribute to news media via Stringr. Some of the digital assets in this Dropbox were used in the 360 virtual tour above.

Refugee Ukrainian Children Drawings Displayed Within a Virtually Staged Matterport 3D Tour Gallery

Drawings of Children From Ukraine: A Campaign By Laura Ilioaei

Artem and Anastasia Bykovets are a couple who had resided in their home in the suburbs of Kyiv, Ukraine. They have two daughters: Sasha and Sofia, who are 2 and 6-years-old, respectively.

However, Russian fighter jets recently began flying over their house, spontaneously bombing the country they had all previously called home. Staying put was evidently not an option. These parents told their children that there was no choice but to flee. Sasha and Sofia were told to gather three of their favorite toys before they would leave and seek refuge in a safer country.

Though barely older than a toddler, Sofia was well-aware that the world she had known was under turmoil and chaos. Terrified and teary-eyed, she gathered her things, bade her room goodbye, and left it while crying the whole time. The family went into their car, and Sofia’s parents attempted to console her with soft words without sparing the honesty of the tragic situation of the war at hand. Sofia quickly found herself needing to find an outlet to channel her sorrow and anxiety.

This outlet manifested into using art to cope with her emotions. Sofia began to actively paint. Initially, it was on craft bags and napkins, but she quickly transferred to more digitized platforms on tablets and cell phones.

Artem and Anastasia realized that art had a cathartic power; when Sofia painted, she was too distracted to feel distressed. They realized that art therapy would be beneficial to other children like Sofia.

Many Ukrainian children are currently spending time hiding in basements and bomb shelters as opposed to playgrounds. Since they are young, they’re unable to verbalize their feelings. They’re disturbed by the disruption in their routine and the terrors of war. The uncertainties felt by their parents perturb them as well, as there is no authority figure that can guide them through the dangerous volatility of their situation.

Prompted by these truths and their own anecdotal evidence through watching Sofia, Artem and Anastasia quickly founded UA Kids Today. It’s a platform that aims to help Ukrainians by tending to their psychological and emotional needs.

Their emphasis is on the well-being of children. They’re currently launching an all-Ukrainian online virtually staged 3D gallery of children's drawings (See Above). These drawings are meant to show how children feel about war, exposing these insights to an international audience.

These drawings also empower children. Not only are they able to distract and cope with their experiences through the power of creativity, but they’re also able to be vulnerable with themselves in a healthy way.

By sharing their art on the [Matterport] platform, they’re also able to be a part of a community and have a sense that they are partaking in something greater than themselves. It’s a way to take back power in circumstances that can make a person feel utterly powerless.

A scroll through the [virtually staged Matterport 3D tour] gallery (above) is an insightful look into the perspectives of children. Adults often overlook the intelligence and observant attitudes of young children, and the UAkids.today gallery is proof that Ukrainian children fully comprehend how war affects civilians.

Many drawings are of peace symbols or of images that evoke peaceful messages:

1. doves holding olive branches
2. families in silhouettes united by hand-holding
3. a butterfly with the Ukrainian coat-of-arms drawn on one of its wings


Conversely, many images are also violent depictions or depictions of reactions to violence. Drawings of this category include:

4. soldiers with guns
5. war tanks
6. stick figures firing bullets


The [virtually staged Matterport] 3D gallery also includes drawings of:

7. bloodshed
8. individuals crying
9. heart symbols broken down the center with jagged edges


Regardless of the nature of the artistic depiction, they are all raw exposures to how these Ukrainian children are coping with war.

The UAkids.today site also has a donation page for those who want to help Ukrainian families. There is also a tab labeled Submit A Picture on the website where children’s artworks can be submitted.

The channel also features other child support initiatives, including a UA Kids Today Instagram channel with art challenges and advice from psychotherapists, as well as a Telegram channel with art lessons for young children.

This initiative is demonstrative of how human tenacity prevails even in circumstances as grim as wartime. It also does this without obscuring reality. This honesty is what makes it compelling. Consider supporting these children, so that they can one day draw solely for the purpose of art, and not for the sake of preserving their sanity in a time of instability.

360 Panorama | Antonov AN-225, at Hostomel airfield, Ukraine.

--

The following description is from this Facebook post by Hugh Hou in the 360º Panoramic Photographers on Facebook Group

--

In front of you, it's what's left of the world's largest cargo plane - the Antonov AN-225, at Hostomel airfield, Ukraine.
Also known as Mriya (“Dream” in Ukrainian), the plane, which was used to ship humanitarian aid around the world, was extensively damaged due to Russian bombardments during the first days of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Ukrainian army regained control of the Antonov facility two days ago.
Nickolay Omelchenko and Kyiv Maps team were able to capture this 360 photo to let the world see the sadness firsthand - feel like you were there.
Mriya is an engineering marvel, the destruction of #mriya sent shockwaves through the world of aviation. Let's take a moment, to reflect on what Wars did to us in science and technological achievement.
You can see more of the #Hostomel airfield in 360 here on Kyiv Maps' official virtual tour: https://bit.ly/37kMvY3
In the next couple of days, you will see more 360 photos around Kyiv - Irpin, Bucha, Horenka, and Stoyanka. To see the damage of the Wars in 360 virtual reality. Bookmark the link and see the latest update.
What do you think? Comment below and speak your mind. Don't forget to share to raise awareness.

Fast Company (11 April 2022) UNESCO project aims to digitally preserve Ukraine landmarks facing damage by war
‘Backup Ukraine’ is using Polycam 3D scanning app to quickly and easily scan and upload digital renderings of important landmarks.

Backup Ukraine lets anyone become an archivist. You can scan buildings and monuments as full 3D models using just your phone. And store them in an open, secure online archive — where no bombs can reach.

Hi All,

I volunteer my photo/video/360 services to the UCCA-Georgia Branch and the Ukrainian Community of Atlanta.

Here are all the photos, 360s and video.

Here's how the tour looks on Facebook.

Here is one of the 360s from the virtual tour uploaded directly to Facebook. (Looks best on an iPhone with gyro.)

Tools

2. 360 Camera: Labpano Pilot One EE
3. Apple iPhone 13 Pro

6. Digital Album to host photos, video and 360s: SmugMug
7. Shared Assets with Non-Profit: Dropbox
8. For elevation of the 360 camera, I set the timer to 5 seconds and lifted the camera on a tripod at 2 seconds. Got the shot.

Best,

Dan
