As we announced last year, Superswell VR has been working with Miles Partnership, "a strategic marketing company focused exclusively on travel and tourism,” to help capture 360 images and visual assets for Destination Marketing Organizations across the country. This time, they had us up and down the central coast of California for San Luis Obispo County, home to such iconic spots as Morro Bay, the San Luis Obispo Farmer’s Market, San Simeon, Hearst Castle, Cayucos, and the first stretch of PCH towards Big Sur…

Ahh…the partnership that keeps on givin’. We recently completed another Google Street View project for Miles Partnership, this time taking us to Grand County, Colorado, the western edge of the Continental Divide and home to some of the Rockies’ most popular destinations, including Winter Park, Lake Granby, and an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park…

Just TRY not to smile.

Go on, we dare you.

And then book a cottage at www.Oakwood-Gardens.com where each night comes with a bucket of alpaca food so you can woo the therapeutic buggers to join you for breakfast.
You know you want to.

And then go buy some alpaca stuff from Alpacas.com. Proceeds to go Quechua Benefit, a non-profit founded in 1996 to help break the cycle of poverty amongst under-served communities in the highlands of Peru.

Whenever we're involved with a project that focus on access to nature and parts of the world that the public either has never seen before or hasn't had access to in generations, we get all warm and fuzzy inside.

So when we were approached by the Willamette Falls Trust, who are working in conjunction with Oregon City, Clackamas County, Metro and the State of Oregon, to help them bring to life their vision for restoring public access, for the first time in 150 years, to THE NATION'S SECOND LARGEST WATERFALL, we were beyond thrilled.

These are the kind of projects we live for….

Superswell VR couldn't be prouder to be working with Miles Partnership, "a strategic marketing company focused exclusively on travel and tourism."

Though it may have seemed quiet from the Superswell camp, it’s been anything but. Over the past few months, Miles Partnership contracted Superswell to help them on various projects across the nation.

It's quite exciting to see…

Superswell VR, was insanely fortunate to be asked by the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology to produce a 360 virtual reality tour of their campus - a campus that sits at the trailhead of one of the most spectacular spots on the Oregon coast - Cascade Head.

The Sitka Center is a pretty impressive and special little place. With it's robust ecology & arts-inspired programming and its artist-in-residence programs and its location...oh its location...you couldn't find a better way to spend a weekend...or a week...or a month….

Some of the most important and purposeful work we can think of involves inspiring the future of our environment's stewards to learn about, care for, and share their care for, Mother Nature. And there's a local non-profit organization in Portland, Oregon doing just that - Ecology in Classrooms & Outdoors (ECO).

Through both in-classroom ecology lessons and hands-on ecological enrichment programs, over the past 12 years, ECO has inspired over 20,000 elementary school students to connect to our natural world. TWENTY THOUSAND! What this insanely talented and dedicated group of creative and passionate administrators and educators have put together and managed to accomplish has been nothing short of incredible. Needless to say, Superswell VR cannot be prouder and more humbled to be working with ECO…

Last month, Superswell VR co-founder Wasim Muklashy was asked to head out to Branson, Missouri, the location for the 16th annual North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) conference, to deliver a presentation entitled "How Virtual Reality Is Changing The Travel Industry." 

And it went really really well!

So well, in fact, that…

Science, nature, and a sustainable future are all topics that we hold near and dear to us at Superswell VR, so we could not have been more excited when the North American Forest Partnership invited us to their latest conference in Portland, Oregon to show their members what's possible in virtual reality.

In staying true to their mission of sustainability, the first day found us at the offices of Ankrom Moisan Architects, an architecture firm dedicated to sustainable and communal design, and on the second day…

When Superswell VR co-founder and professional photographer Wasim Muklashy made the choice to move up to the Pacific Northwest he knew he had to pay homage to the Santa Monica Mountains - home to his beloved Topanga Canyon. 

"No question about it, that range played one of the most pivotal roles in the development from one version of me to another," Muklashy states. "From…

If you haven't noticed, we at Superswell VR like to get our adventure on, and when it comes to the outdoors, who better to team up with than Outdoor Project. Here's a recent hike we did to Oregon's beautiful Clackamas & Memaloose Falls in the Mount Hood Forest in, yup, full 360˚ virtual reality video. Ropes, mud, bridges, tunnels...this one had it all. So strap on your hiking boots, a couple liters of water, a snack, some sunscreen, and your VR headset and join us while we do it again...and again...and again...

Roskilde Festival is Scandinavia's WILDEST party, and it's happening for the 45th time beginning June 24. If you're headed out to Denmark, or just curious what the experience is like, this one's for you. Come along for the ride as we explore one of the world's largest music festivals in 360 degrees!

If you've got a VR headset and want to check out the shenanigans we found ourselves caught up in at last year's festival, jump in via…"

Well that was something! And a crazy fun something at that! Last week, the Superswell® VR team braved the Pacific Ocean's winter waters to capture a cutting-edge underwater sculpture exhibit in 360˚ VR video.

Superswell® VR's own Joan Jetsetter and Wasim Muklashy joined forces with Radiant Images, Diving Catalina, Catalina Express, Santa Catalina Island Company, travel influencer Breanna J Wilson and cinematographer Eve Cohen to capture Doug Aitken's brand-new installation, "Underwater Pavilions." The geometric swim-in, swim out exhibit was…

As a co-founder of Superswell® VR and producer of virtual reality and 360˚ video, I’m am completely and continually fascinated by the various applications of how this technology can be used. While we’ve been using this for a lot of travel content, I was recently asked by AJ+, a very popular millennial news source, if I had any interest in heading out to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to cover the Dakota Access Pipeline situations. 

360˚ video for journalism? I couldn't refuse.
