North Carolina is launching NC360, an online immersive experience that allows anyone across the world to virtually explore the state's natural and cultural attractions, Governor Roy Cooper announced today. The project is made possible by the NC Department of Information Technology. The project, which is the largest-scale state government sponsored 360-degree imagery initiative to date, has potential applications for education, tourism, accessibility, and safety and emergency response. It also shows how state government is using new technology in its services for the residents of the state.
