Behind | 360 View: Samaria, City of Temporary Affluence

Use your VR goggles or scan around with your mouse to see the capital of the Northern Kingdom—a city whose prosperity seemed to refute the words of the prophets. But we’ll see what eventually happened as we look at its ruins.

Transport yourself to the land of the Bible with a 360-degree video tour. Virtual Reality helps students improve deep learning and retention through active, immersive, self-directed experiences. VR goggles are sometimes called “empathy machines” for today’s digital generation. You can access this virtual reality technology more easily with VR goggles that can cost as little as $8. 

To use your VR goggles, you’ll need to log into Bible Journey on your phone or tablet as well as download the YouTube app on your mobile phone or tablet. Scan the QR code for your goggles for the easiest setup and functionality. Then, when you come to 360-degree video in your Bible Journey courses, you’ll be able to select the option to transfer to the YouTube app to watch the video. Insert your phone into your goggles to watch the video through your VR goggles. More detailed instructions can be found with your individual pair of goggles; different pairs may work slightly differently.
