This immersive 180° 3D VR experience takes you through the heart of Wilmington and its surrounding beaches. Explore downtown Wilmington, visiting the historic Murchison Building, Riverwalk, Alton Lennon Federal Building, First Baptist Church, Bellamy Mansion, JW Brooks Wholesale Grocer, Cotton Exchange, and even the former site of Karen’s Café from One Tree Hill. Step onto the Riverwalk for stunning views of the Cape Fear River and the Battleship North Carolina, then cross the Intracoastal Waterway with its sparkling blue waters and passing boats. We’ll also visit the coast — starting with a Wrightsville Beach sunrise at Crystal Pier, and then the vibrant Carolina Beach boardwalk and beachfront.
IMPORTANT VIEWING TIPS:
This experience is a 180° stereoscopic 3D video, designed specifically for VR headsets. Unlike 360° video, 180° VR concentrates detail directly in front of you, delivering greater visual clarity, depth, and realism where your attention naturally rests.
For the best possible experience:
View in a VR headset for full immersion and true depth perception.
On desktop or in-headset players, use the settings icon (⚙️) to manually set quality to 4320s (8K).
On mobile or tablet, open the settings menu and select Quality → Advanced → 2160s. Without a headset, you can still explore the scene by clicking and dragging or by rotating your device.
