This is the first test of a 360º video of a Pine Plains town board meeting on Feb 19, 2026.
You can choose what YOU want to see rather than what someone lets you see.
A 360º video allows you to pan and tilt around the room as if you were running your own camera.
Here’s how to do it. On a computer, simply drag the mouse around the screen and watch what happens.
On a mobile device, just drag your finger along the picture. You will get a full-frame picture if you hold the device in the horizontal, landscape mode.
PLAY AROUND WITH IT!
You will be surprised by what happens.
This first clip of the opening of the meeting will allow you to experiment with this technology.
Here is a longer, 7-minute sample of the meeting. Again, feel free to move around the room with your mouse on a desktop or a finger on a mobile device.
I am testing the system before promoting it; my goal is to increase citizen participation in community activity.
