  • Explore the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland in this amazing 360° realtime narrowboat cruise where you control the view! 360-Degree footage means you can look around the wheel and the sights beyond as if you're actually on the boat with us.

    As perfect as you can be without being on the boat with you. A fabulous experience. This compliments the Foxes a float channel perfectly!

    Wonderful. Almost like I was there, except of course, I don't have to wear warm clothing or walk around. Thank you very much for the 3D views.

    Really cool to see the wheel in action from aboard and to be able to look around. You really get a sense of the scale of the mechanism as the other arm rises up above 👍

    That was amazing. I watched it several times so I could see it from all the different angles. It kept locking up on me when I tried to go back but I think it was my signal (we always have trouble with it) but restarting it was fine. Had to remove my headphones. The wind noise was too much. Thanks so much.

      @grandmasmagic3858 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes..!! having done the tourist boat on the Falkirk Wheel myself, watching this, swivelling the camera, it's like swivelling your head..and what I liked about this is that you are getting the point of view of narrowboaters, not of a tourist in a glass roofed tourist boat..🛥

    Hi, it’s JoHn in Florida.
    Just finished the 360 video using a VR immersive head set. What an experience standing on the roof of your boat. With out thinking I waved at you two, and for a second my brain said “ Don’t they see me standing there”?
    Then I thought I would for sure be in the next video because you were setting up cameras on the back of the boat and you would be recording me standing in the front with the head set on. I can’t believe how real it was. Anyone with a VR head set should definitely give it a try. It was great to relive the ride I took on the Wheel a few years ago. Hope you do more

    Once again, a superb example of what can be done with a 360 camera. I was swiveling around and jumping back and forth in the timeline to catch the full immersion of the moment. It’s brilliant!

  • @petermorris2944
    @petermorris2944 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We've tried a few 360 videos our the oculus quests, this is very sharp compared to most, plus it's one our favourite channels, so it's a double win. For people who don't know, with a vr headset you can just look around like normal, and it's like you are sitting on the boat. Thanks guys, we appreciate you.

With my chronic pain and fatigue you’ve taken me all over our wonderful country without me putting my shoes on 😁. Thanks again, and I’m looking forward to more 360 stuff. All the best to you three, happy new year and “yes” my new calendar is up ❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you for allowing me to ride on the roof of your narrow boat! It's amazing how the roof of your boat feels just like one of the rugs in my house. I was successful in not leaving footprints. I checked. Tried calling Otis, but for some reason he didn't respond! Used my Oculus Quest 2 headset. It's not perfect, but I really felt like I was standing on your roof. It was enough to genuinely feel like I was there. 😀
