They may help mitigate inequities due to cost, accessibility, or inclusivity. Virtual field trips can broaden access to locations and experiences for many students. They can be standalone digital experiences or complement in-person experiences, such as preparation or follow-up to a physical field trip. Virtual field trips can take a variety of forms, but at their core, they enable learners to engage with a location, often without physically traveling there, in a digitally mediated way. The Transforming Learning Accelerator seeks to fund projects that can lead to new insights in the emerging area of virtual field trips. We collaborate across disciplines and with partners to bring scalable and equitable solutions to all learners.

The data from the mariadb database is converted via the use of mysqli php library to xml markers that are fed to the javascript.The Stanford Transforming Learning Accelerator, a university long-range project, creates effective learning solutions using the latest advancements in technology, data, and the sciences of learning. The points of interest are stored in MariaDB table with a geopoint field storing the spatial information and several fields used to store the descriptive and other information of the place. There is a `start` and `end` field which store the year that the place was built and the year which it was destroyed respectively and are used for the point in time slider to filter them.

Plotting points of interest with custom icons on a Google Map basemap.The functionalities of Heraklion map (the UOC map has some of them) are: The marker data are dynamically exported as geo json with the use of php. The basemap of the image is the OpenStreet map. The QGIS project that is used to edit the MariaDB data.
Pano2vr embedding software#
To edit the data QGIS software with a connection to the MariaDB database is used. This map can be found in this link: and is also embedded at the top of this post.īoth of there maps are actually php sites with the spatial data stored in a mysql / mariadb database and the javascript Google Maps API used for plotting the data and add the functionalities. This slider has steps as well that are points in time (years) when significant and related to the city of Heraklion historical events have occured. This show the location of the monuments at a specific year from 1204 and on. At the same time I experimented with a slider representing time, with which I was able to filter chronologically the monuments. The new University of Crete (UOC) campus Google map implementation can be found in the following link: įollowing the UOC map, I started a new Google Map for the city of Heraklion to play around with some ideas for presenting spatial related info like historical monuments, sightseeing sites etc and cooperating with the Google Street panos and a virtual tour. Another way is to offer the ability to open custom Virtual Tours by opening the closest panorama from where the user clicked by checking the distance as described in “ Checking distances in a Pano2VR virtual tour“ There is the possibility to enhance the experience by shooting high quality panoramas and uploading them to Google Street (Pano2VR support it and the procedure is quite easy and user friendly). Some of these Google Street panoramas were shot by me.
Pano2vr embedding code#
I bet the code is not polished and a lot of optimization can be done, however the functionalities are neat since it combines the quality of Google Maps very fine resolution and 3d visualization with the Google Street spherical panoramas. I am far from being a software developer and it was literally the first time I was trying to do something in javascript, however I think I managed to pull it off. I did not have access to the ESRI ArcGIS Online at the time, which would have made the whole task much easier, so I took a look at the Google Maps Javascript API and decided to give it a go. This Google map implementation started when I was asked for a map of the University of Crete for its new website.
