Preservation Strategies

Preservation Preparedness

The following measures, presented in order of increasing ambition, will help ensure long-term access to 360-degree video and prepare for future preservation interventions:

⭐ Level 1:

• Archive a copy of the 360-degree video file in a suitable preservation format.

• Ensure documentation has been captured describing the video format, including projection format and mono/stereoscopic.

🌟 Level 2:

• Ensure spatial metadata has been injected into the file, including the projection format and mono/stereoscopic format used.

• Identify and test suitable 360-degree video player software, via XR hardware.

🌠 Level 3:

• Archive a copy of the source video files (pre-stitching), production/project files and any dependencies required to access these.
