[Pilot Version, 2022]
Introduction
Welcome to this pilot version of an interactive, immersive 360° educational tour to Garibaldi National Park where a team of UBC researchers are studying alpine plant species responses to trampling and climate change. This tour documents the landscapes and some of the research sites in Sphinx and Sentinel Bays, observed on a trip to set up monitoring plots in August, 2022. We are expanding this for a more immersive tour in Storymap and new 360 tour software (3DVista) during the 2023-4 Grant cycle. Wait for it!
Thanks, Nina Hewitt
Instructions:
- In the “TOUR WINDOW” launch full screen with the icon, top right (esc to exit);
- Click the black arrows * to move forward or backward to the next/previous scene.
- Click the ⊕ icons to see popups of focus scenes or species in each scene.
- There are 3 different routes – one that takes you along the north edge of Sphinx Bay to hike the “Garbage pile” and back; one that takes you to the Salix experimental warming site along the south edge of the bay; and the other that takes you to Sentinel Bay, to the Sedge meadow sites and up toward the Sentinel glacier viewed from the Glaciology huts, built by Geog prof and glaciologist Ross McKay.
- Most of the scenes are 360° photos. Use your cursor to scroll around them to explore the landscape and to reveal popups. The scene connecting Sphinx to Sentinel bay is a 2D photo
