So far, the system has captured mesmerizing 360-degree video from a burning room, a mock-up of a museum collection storage room, a kitchen fire and, most recently, a forest fire. The footage allows a viewer to immerse themselves in the scene and shift their gaze in any direction to look at different aspects of the fire.</p></div> </div> <div class="nist-card__links"> <div class="nist-card__button"> <a href="/web/20230327235249/https://www.nist.gov/featured-stories/eye-fire" class="usa-button ">Read more.</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-container margin-y-4"> <div class="nist-region-heading"> <h2>News</h2> </div> <div class="margin-bottom-5"> <div class="entity-reference"> <div class="nist-card nist-card--horizontal nist-card--horizontal-full"> <div class="nist-card__inner"> <div class="nist-card__image"> <a href="/web/20230327235249/https://www.nist.gov/blogs/taking-measure/how-nist-helping-first-responders-stay-connected"> <div class="entity-reference"> <img src="/web/20230327235249im_/https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/styles/600w_x_360h/public/images/2020/12/31/first%20responder%20blog-01.png?itok=XQFf4Lom" width="600" height="360" alt="a collage of different graphical objects including representations of an ambulance, a police car, fire fighters, 911 call takers and various communications technologies like smartphones.
