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.
If you'd like to hear why the Falkirk Wheel was built and how it works, along with some historical information about this amazing structure, click here 👉🏻 • The Falkirk Wheel - Ho...
We're Colin and Shaun. In 2018 we gave up our home and jobs, built a 57-foot narrowboat, and explored the UK's 2,000 miles of rivers and canals. Watch our story here 👉🏻 / foxesafloat

@grandmasmagic3858 2 жыл бұрын

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..🛥

@pennyjones8545 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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

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.

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. 😀

Your 360 video just made me very very happy. VR 360 on the Oculus Quest 2 through the default Oculus web browser then going to KZfaq worked without a hitch. I live in the US, and this is about as close as possible to feeling like I'm on a narrow boat. Amazing to look up and see sky. Look down and see water. See you too! MORE PLEASE! (I watched your Thames journey also through the quest when you first posted in months ago, granted not in 360. Really enjoy that. Shared with friends.) 360 just takes it all to another level. Again, you just made me very happy. Thank you.

I just got an oculus, and this video was one of the first things I did on it (after setting up beat saber!). Such a cool experience! There's also a youtubeVR app for the oculus that makes it a little simpler, since you don't have to navigate through the browser.
