This innovative history education project was designed to bring The Battle of the Somme into UK classrooms through virtual reality and synched headsets.
Working with renowned historian and broadcaster Peter Barton, Mocha shot both ground and aerial 360 footage on a GoPro Omni rig with 6 GoPro Hero 4 cameras. During the 10-day shoot on the Somme in late summer 2016, Mocha produced over 30 individual pieces of 360 content, expertly presented by Peter Barton in a wide variety of battlefield locations.
The Battle of the Somme in Virtual Reality was officially launched at a major event in St.George’s Hall, Liverpool on 23rd March 2017 and the project featured heavily on national media including BBC Breakfast and BBC Online over the following weeks.
