360 Virtual Reality Video: Look through the eyes of a plant

Written by Zifra de Vreugd | 18 July 2016

At the end of the production process in a greenhouse, plants are packed and transported to the customers. Before that moment, plants bridge a considerable distance in an internal logistics system. Every grower of course knows which route his plants take in his system, but what no one knows is exactly how beautiful the view of a plant is during the transportation process.

With the application of a 360-degree camera in one of the WPS transport systems, we now know exactly what plants see during the ‘ride’. A 360-degree camera films the entire environment, making it possible for the viewer of the video below to see all views of the plant. For an optimal experience it is even possible to view the video below with virtual reality glasses. However, this is not a requirement.

The video was made by KP Holland. Instructions: drag your mouse around on the video screen to see the environment.
