Frequently Asked Questions

You Are Here 360 is an immersive destination project built to make places feel less like something you're watching and more like somewhere you've stepped into. We capture destinations in 360° so you can look around, explore and decide where you want to go next.

Not really. We are building a library of immersive destination experiences. The goal isn't to tell you every restaurant we ate at or make you watch someone talk into a camera for twenty minutes. The place is the main character.

Traditional video decides where you look. 360° gives that choice back to you. Turn toward the ocean, look behind you, study the street or simply stay still and take in the atmosphere.

Our core destination experiences are designed to be accessible without turning every view into a paywall. Some backer perks, private premieres or special releases may have early or limited access.

No. You can explore on a phone, tablet or computer by dragging or moving the view. A compatible VR headset gives you the most immersive version because you can naturally look around the scene.

TAKE ME THERE is our mood-first way of exploring. Instead of starting with a map, choose how you want to feel: Peaceful, Away From Everything, Somewhere Alive, Let's Explore or Surprise Me. We'll take it from there.

Because movement isn't automatically better. Some places are strongest when you can simply stand there and absorb them. Others make sense as a walk, trail, street or journey. We choose the format that serves the place.

Absolutely—but rather than dropping destinations into a suggestion box, visit Where Should We Go Next?. You can see expeditions we're considering and help back the places you'd most like us to capture.

You're helping fund a specific You Are Here 360 production expedition. Your backing helps make that destination possible and, depending on your tier, may include expedition-specific perks and experiences.

No. We call it backing an expedition. Eligible backing tiers include defined perks connected to that expedition. The campaign page shows what is included before checkout.

Expedition funds can cover transportation, premium accommodations, local transportation, destination access and experiences, production costs, media storage, post-production, backer rewards and the flexibility needed to properly capture the destination.

Because the goal isn't to reach a destination as cheaply as humanly possible. Expeditions are designed around comfort, flexibility and enough time to actually experience a place before capturing it. We're not interested in racing through twelve locations exhausted just to say we went there. We go there. We experience it. Then we take you there.

The expedition is funded. We move into scheduling, travel and production planning, then keep eligible backers updated as dates and milestones are confirmed.

Yes. Additional backing can support expanded coverage, additional experiences, production improvements, reward fulfillment or published stretch goals. The campaign should explain any specific unlocks when they apply.

Yes. Eligible expeditions backed with the same account/email can appear together in your Explorer Backer Dashboard.

No. Travel, weather, access, safety, transportation and destination conditions can change. We would rather adjust a production date than force an expedition under conditions that compromise the experience or the work.

If circumstances materially change an expedition, we'll communicate the status and applicable next steps to affected backers. Any cancellation, refund or replacement options are governed by the terms shown for that campaign and checkout at the time of backing.

A GO THERE Deal is an opportunity to experience something featured around a destination for yourself. Participating businesses can offer a special experience that activates when enough people commit.

The group threshold is what can make a stronger price or special experience practical for the partner. Your commitment helps move the deal toward its unlock point.

The specific deal page and checkout terms control the transaction. Our model is designed around an authorize/commit-first structure so customers aren't left paying for an experience that never reaches its required threshold.

Yes. That's exactly why every GO THERE Deal can include Share This Deal. If you're already committed, bringing other explorers in can help everyone reach the threshold faster.

You Are Here 360 helps connect explorers with participating businesses. The actual experience is provided by the listed operator, attraction, restaurant, tour company or other partner. Provider-specific rules, availability and requirements may apply.

Dashboard access begins at the Trailblazer tier and above after the qualifying expedition payment has cleared.

After an eligible Trailblazer-or-higher backing payment clears, you'll receive an invitation to create or access your Explorer Backer account.

Your backed expeditions, personal backing totals, campaign progress, eligible premiere information, earned rewards and fulfillment status can all live in one place.

Use the same email/account and eligible expeditions can be consolidated into the same dashboard instead of creating a separate account for every trip.

When included with your tier, eligible backers receive access details before the public release. Premiere plans can include a shared watch party and post-premiere Q&A depending on the expedition.

Start with our Partner With Us funnel. Choose Sponsor a Destination, GO THERE Deal Partner, Tourism Board Partnership, 360° Production, Local Business Partner or Footage Licensing and you'll get an inquiry form tailored to that opportunity.

Yes. Destination sponsorship can help support a specific production expedition while giving the sponsor clearly disclosed recognition. Sponsorship does not buy editorial control or guaranteed positive coverage.

Yes. Tourism boards and destination organizations can inquire about multi-location 360 collections, regional campaigns, expedition support and destination integrations.

Yes. Hotels, resorts, attractions, venues, museums, marinas, tours and other businesses can inquire about dedicated immersive production through the 360° Production path.

Choose GO THERE Deal Partner in the Partner With Us funnel. We'll ask about the experience, normal price, proposed deal price, minimum buyers, capacity and redemption window before reviewing whether it fits the platform.

Potentially. Use the Footage Licensing inquiry and tell us the intended usage, territory, duration, media, deadline and project details so we can evaluate licensing and pricing.

360° cameras capture the environment around them, so people may sometimes appear incidentally in public destination footage. We aim to film responsibly and follow applicable location rules and requirements.

Yes. When a location, activity, property, production arrangement or applicable rule requires authorization, we handle the relevant permission rather than treating every location the same.

No. Accessibility varies enormously by destination. Where reliable information is available, we want to surface useful accessibility context so explorers can make informed decisions about visiting.

No. Quite the opposite. You Are Here 360 is meant to make you want to close the laptop, pack a bag and experience these places for yourself. And when getting there isn't possible, we still want to bring as much of the experience to you as we can.
