Experience Dental Therapy in 360

Together with Swinomish Indian Tribal Community Chairman Brian Cladoosby, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation created a 360° video to help people experience the work of dental therapists and hear the hope that some tribal members feel at the prospect of bringing dental therapists to their communities to expand dental care.

How to watch the 360° video

For the best experience, view the video using the Google Cardboard goggles (included in the package) and your mobile device. Here’s how you watch the video:

1. Download the YouTube app to your smartphone.
   

   A note for iPhone users:
   If you don’t already have the YouTube app on your phone, you’ll need to go to the App Store to get it.

   Android users, if you don’t have the YouTube app, you can get it from the Play Store.

2. Open the Velcro-closed phone area of the Google Cardboard goggles
3. Turn on your phone (you’re probably reading this on your phone)
4. Go to youtu.be/ZCzEmOAYj6Y (tapping this link should take you to the YouTube app)
5. In the YouTube app, tap the cardboard icon () located in the bottom right corner of the screen.
   

   Note: You should see a split screen view of the video after  clicking the cardboard icon.

6. Put your phone in the Cardboard viewer and attach the Velcro closure
7. Put the Google Cardboard goggles on your face.

Note:
To play, pause, rewind the video, push the silver, aluminum-like button on the top right of the Cardboard. Once you have the Goggles on, move your head to align the small, white, circular cursor with the play, pause or rewind button, and press the silver, aluminum button on the Cardboard again.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

What is 360° video?

360 video is a new immersive approach to video. Whereas traditional videos are watched from afar on a screen, 360 video makes you feel like you are a part of the scene.

What’s in this video?

You’ll see yourself paddling along in a tribal canoe in the opening shots of the canoe journey that took place this summer in Washington state. You’ll hear the hopes that tribal leaders have for improving oral health for Native American children as they speak with the land and sea behind them. And you’ll see why when the camera brings them into the Swinomish dental clinic as Dental Therapist Daniel Kennedy works on a patient; and as you watch children running around on a Head Start playground and up to Daniel to learn more about flossing.
