Will Pearson has captured a wide variety of interactive 360 images over the years – from city skylines to desert landscapes, from festivals to fashion, from architecture to alternative energy. They can be viewed on mobiles and tablets as well as desktops, on VR headsets (Virtual Reality) and in dome environments.
