Immersive footage said to give tangible sense of peacekeeping in South Sudan
Summary
Presenters described an immersive video experience as ‘‘particularly realistic’’ and said it increased sympathy for peacekeeping work in South Sudan, though presenters did not specify the footage—s sponsor or technology.
Staff member 1, a presenter, said immersive footage "gives you a real tangible sense of what peacekeepers do," and that viewing footage from his own mission "tremendously impressed" him and increased sympathy for the peacekeeping project.
Staff member 2, a presenter, described the material as "the immersive experience as if we were on the spot in this situation," and said it was "very useful for us to understand the situation in South Sudan." Staff member 1 added the footage was "particularly realistic," saying viewers "do come away with a real sense of having been in a peacekeeping mission engaging with ordinary people across the globe, in their everyday, walks of life."
The presenters discussed the immersive footage only in descriptive terms during the recorded segment; they did not specify who produced or sponsored the material, what technology (for example, virtual reality or 360-degree video) was used, nor any planned follow-up actions or formal recommendations. No votes or formal decisions were recorded in connection with the remarks.
