In the framework of the BioEcoN project the VNU students Doan Manh Linh, Nguyen Thi Van, Nguyen Hoang Nam, Pham Minh Anh (photographic field work) and Ngo Xuan Phong (picture stitching) produced a 360 degree video with suppoert of Prof. Dr. José A. Reque Kilchenmann. The virtual forest tour (VFT) was produced using simple equipment including a tripod, a nodal head and a digital camera. The VFT will be integrated into the curricula as low cost teaching tools independent from the usual limitations like costs, accessibility, course schedule and climatic conditions.
