Kensington, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2016 -- On February 8, 2016, Hopscotch Interactive will launch the 3D Showcase Mapping Project, the first of its kind global gallery for 3D Showcases, virtual reality, and other 360° content. The map will allow content makers all over the world to upload links to their media, often referred to as "virtual tours", and to catalog locations in real-time with their own links, relevant descriptions, and contact information.
"Viewing a space in 3D, 360°, or virtual reality solves the problem of the lack of context which is inherent with still photography. You see what is in the frame, but nothing beyond it. 3D solves this, however, it is even more amazing when you can point to the map and say, "take me there", says Emily Olman, Hopscotch Interactive Founder. "
Currently there are only a handful of dedicated online forums that exclusively cover the nascent fields of 3D Photography and virtual reality. They range from hobbyist websites to industry news platforms competing for share of voice, and the young industry is further fragmented with hardware developers vying for market dominance. It will experience growing pains, because by 2017 3D and VR will be multi-billion dollar industries.
"We are in an interesting period where there is a lot of hype about what is on the horizon, but for those of us who are already making content, until now there wasn't a way for that content to be viewed and shared within a global geographic context. The 3D Showcase Mapping Project is the natural outcome of making virtual reality content, and much like a wiki, anyone can participate", Olman adds.
