Season’s greetings! Welcome to the final GAETSS E-Newsletter. After 5 years of publishing regular updates on a whole spectrum
of enabling technologies and gamification applications and events, I have decided to focus entirely on consumer 360 degree
immersive technologies and associated applications. I will be starting a new e-newsletter next month whose theme will be based
on a combination of 360 degree consumer technologies, storytelling and gamification.

360in360 Immersive Experiences Workshops
In November, I launched the 360in360 Immersive Experiences Workshop at the Immersive Educations IED 2017 conference in
Lucca, Italy. The workshop format is intended to be a practical hands-on illustration of how to combine 360 degree video, image
and sound technologies with storytelling and gamification to develop 21st
century learning skills and stimulate interest in digital
culture and heritage.
The workshop demonstrates a number of different consumer 360 degree cameras with examples of their functionality, quality
and strengths and weaknesses before engaging delegates in a team-based global quest game using 360 degree video and images
to solve a challenge.
It also includes opportunities for delegates to develop their own virtual tours and quest challenges using off-the-shelf software.
One of the delegates at the workshop published and excellent review of IED 2017 at https://eskript.ethz.ch/ied2017/ which
includes details of my workshop and the quote :-
“David Wortley is the man! I learned so much from his workshop”
In the New Year, I want to organise a series of national and international 360in360 Immersive Experience workshops with
partners interested in co-hosting these events in possible “hackathon” formats which create legacy content of value to the
delegates and their stakeholders.
If this is of interest, contact me at david@davidwortley.com.
