Open full size in a new window

A 360 VR of the ancient city of Bagan, Myanmar, produced as educational content for UNESCO’s Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU). Pagodas and temples scattered across the Bagan plain are placed on a map; tap a point to open a 360° panorama or commentary.

What’s included

  • 32 points on the map
  • 12 360° panoramas — sites to explore for yourself
  • 20 information points — photos and commentary

How to explore

Tap a point on the map on the first screen to enter the 360° panorama at that spot. Drag to look all around, and scroll or pinch to zoom. Tap a hotspot on screen to move to another spot at the same site. It opens instantly in PC and mobile browsers with nothing to install.

Where it’s used

This work brings hard-to-reach cultural heritage into classrooms and homes as it is. Unlike photos or video, viewers move their own gaze, so the scale and space of the site come through. It’s used for education for international understanding, global citizenship education and cultural heritage archives.
