The University of Oklahoma Embraces the Future of Journalism with VR Storytelling Many leading education institutions across the globe are using the Vuze VR Camera to more effectively teach the principles of virtual reality and its power to create immersive experiences.

Oklahoma, at the leading journalism college, Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. Gaylord college incorporated the Vuze VR Camera into their curriculum last year to

help bring innovative storytelling technology to their journalism students. Five-time Emmy award- winning Professor Kathleen Johnson selected the Vuze VR Camera for its affordability and ease-of- use, and has expanded the programme to include narrative and commercial storytelling. In addition, “remote student reporters” who will be attending classes for a semester in Washington, DC, will be covering Oklahoma-focused stories in the nation’s capital. “We chose to integrate VR 360 content into


our curriculum because the media industry is headed in this direction, and our students need to bring this experience to the workforce. What the students have learned will help form the basis of what virtual reality production will become,” said Kathleen Johnson, Professor at Gaylord College. “During the practicum, students shoot short stories in 3D-360, which are then shared with others. I believe VR storytelling has made our students better journalists, as they must be aware of the entire 360-degree view around them, versus what only fits in the frame, which can add different elements to a story that may not have been present before.”
