Explore cave paintings in this 360° animated cave - Iseult Gillespie

How to view this TED-Ed animated 360° video:
If you have access to a Google Cardboard viewer and a smart phone:
1. Open this video in the KZbin app on your phone.
2. Hit pause on the video.
3. Tap the 3 vertical dots on the top right corner of the view window. This will slide up a sub-menu where you will choose the quality setting of your video stream. Choose "2160s." Note that if you are not streaming over Wifi, KZbin will only allow "720s" quality.
4. Tap on the “Cardboard viewer” icon on the bottom row of the video window (it looks like a mask). This will present the video full screen in prep for the Cardboard viewer.
5. The screen is now divided into 2 halves, separated by a thin white line that runs halfway up the screen. Make sure to rotate your phone so that this thin line is coming from the bottom of the screen. This ensures proper stereoscopic depth.
6. Insert your phone into the Cardboard viewer and press play. The video will begin. Enjoy!
If you do not have access to a Cardboard or smart phone:
1. You can watch on your browser. Use your mouse to drag and explore the space above, below, and behind you. Enjoy!

The paintings of our ancestors have been preserved in caves all over the world; the oldest we’ve found were made up to 40,000 years ago. What do these images tell us about the ancient human mind and the lives of their creators? In this special 360° TED-Ed animation, explore an ancient cave and its surroundings as Iseult Gillespie shares a brief history of cave paintings.

TED-Ed it was a cool experience but video was a bit short

[@marksanchez9578]

TED-Ed thx for the video

[@infinisidoracle4487]

Amazing experience

[@kaizermmm]

Not good at all, sorry but please dont make all your videos like this i will be losing my interest in watching this video type that needs more thing to do before you can watch it I watch ted ed because of its simplicity but this isnt good for me... I hope you have your non 360 vid version thnks...

[@sultanmahmud209]

TED-Ed please make all videos in 2D

[@ethanha8942]

You gotta appreciate all the work the animators put into this.

[@VR-jg3sp]

Thanks for the positive comment. -Lippy

[@cinnamon9390]

I'm not proud of how long it took me to realize this was a 360 video and I could look around.

[@itsmetheantihero]

Cinnamon 😂😂😂😂 me too

[@nephretalirutty9591]

Same

[@1kaaron212]

Cinnamon same

[@julianadusse1856]

Same hahaha

[@AlejandroFlores-hy3zr]

I watch a find Waldo video and it took me a long time to see it was 360

[@thefoodcan]

Did not listen to what he was saying to busy looking around

[@spiritedrenee9895]

"I can't even draw a stick figure." That's never stopped us before.

[@-ahmed121]

40 thousand old people are better than me in drawing 😢

[@ExtremeTalker-xw6cd]

This was actually a pretty awesome use for the 360 degree camera. I hope they do more of these occasionally but not often.

[@kyoten4101]

ExtremeTalker2000 me too! Also, I probably shouldn't insult another channel but I prefer this over Buzzfeed's 360° by a long shot. It's just a lot more innovative and cool.

[@1012coolcat]

Ted telling us about ancient paintings and stuff for 3 minutes. Me: rotating my phone around and sliding my finger over screen being amazed like a caveman who just discovered a new technology right now with 360° video for the whole 3 minutes. *Video ends* Also me: oooooooo again! aGaIN!!!

[@thatoneawkwardgirlonsocial4535]

omg my V!! army everywhere!

[@muffin100]

[@shyamathakur7220]

[@alexumitsuu3237]

This is actually really cool cause I can actually sense the perception of depth of the artwork in a video talking about artwork.

[@buttertoast3097]

I couldnt listen to the guy. I was too distracted watching the animation. XD

[@hasnain9654]

TheFuzzyFox He said initially that you need to connect to headphones.

Damn you TED-Ed, you're doing an awesome job.

[@vanharoldgonzales5361]

Wow, This is the second time i saw a comment from you on a ted ed video.

[@6v6-c4u]

This is prob one of the best Ted Talk video Ive ever seen The 360 animation is so cool

[@EKoolkat12]

I absolutely LOVE this format and a cave setting is perfect for it!!

[@bubblerai2533]

This was one of the most well thought out 360° video Good job TED, I'm looking forward to more!

[@farhan1979]

Amazing. Descendents of cave artists are keeping the tradition alive. Awesome experience for me first time in youtube.

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Such a great video! Congratulations for the stunning work! 👌👍

[@parasaggarwal9741]

The sound effects were marvellous

[@user-ou7iz7ln5k]

This 360’s movement is really cool! I enjoyed learning cave paintings with this amazing trick.

[@roxier1555]

Wow this is awesome you should do more! It's sooooo cool!

[@VR-jg3sp]

Thank you for the positive comments! I directed the piece -Lippy

[@roxier1555]

You did an amazing job

[@DipiDopo]

This was truely an amazing video. Normally 360° video's are only on one side and the other 280° isn't even used. This is the first impressive 360° video i've ever watched. TED-Ed should defintily should ask Idle Hands Studio for more video's like this. Great job!

[@crazilajimpers2042]

360 video awesome!!!

[@thanhhienly2701]

This is the most underrated thing on KZbin.

[@nancycastillo9739]

Honestly. This is the best thing i have came across youtube. Its si amazing with this technology!

[@Delopezav]

One of the coolest videos in the whole world

[@hanan54]

The only 360 video I actually enjoyed watching!

[@0901강민재]

동굴 벽화에 대하여 배워보는 뜻깊은 시간이었습니다. 특히 옛날 사람들이 왜 벽화를 그렸을까? 생각해보았던것도 좋았습니다. 360°에니메이션 정말 멋졌습니다. 응원합니다. 좋은 영상 감사합니다.

[@daviddemar8749]

here's more proof of the cognitive capacity of the human brain- after several unsuccessful attempts at viewing this via it's original delivery by email, through trial and error I figured out that I could view it directly on KZbin on my smartphone. well worth the effort ! thanks for the 360 degree animation - Just awesome. please make more like this.

[@yuukimikan3629]

Simple yet easy to understand. History teacher please take note.

[@DeepKumar-wo9vo]

Appreciate you efforts ted ed

[@tayaxiaoskaaning2773]

I love such 360 degree videoes!!😍😱

[@srinathmallela9360]

I have never seen a video like this before.. thanks

[@intanputris5950]

omg this is amazing, i just told my friend about ted ed and this is gonna amaze her more

[@crazilajimpers2042]

Spatial audio is pretty cool! Thanks for adding it to this video!

[@kimfucku8074]

If you ever have the chance you must see the lascaux cave paintings! The original cave is closed for years now but just recently the opened the Centre International d’Art Pariétal - Lascaux IV in Montignac. The replica represents the whole of the original cave accessible to the public. There is another, smaller and earlier replica, Lascaux 2, closer to the original site. Even it is a replica, the quality is outstanding and I got a huge respect of what the people were capable of over 20'000 years ago!

[@melissabautz2346]

OH MY GOODNESS! Tell the animators that they deserve everything money can and can't buy! This is amazing! I can't say it enought, this is the most amzing, astounding, superlative video I have seen in my existence.

[@VR-jg3sp]

[@MiraAdriana]

This is my most favourite Ted-Ed video so far!!!

[@mr.richard3109]

Ted-Ed just stepped up it's game. Wonder what the past would think of innovations like this if they were able to travel to the future.

[@mahimdhungel6777]

[@VR-jg3sp]

Thanks for the positive comment. -Lippy

[@maggieciesinski9825]

[@SMILEY5084]

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN

[@vanhanho2395]

amazing with 360 video

[@willemvandebeek]

This is really well done! How about these cave-paintings were used as a form of education?

[@AlexHeisEngholm]

Inspiring.. My thought on why the cavemen/neanther made the paintings is, that there were language issues, and to get around the language, they drew their actions to tell on to others. I don't know how well language were at that time, I guess it was pretty hard to understand eachother.

[@Jolly789]

Wow.. amazing.. I want more of it

[@kanohashida2134]

The animation is really cute but also easily understand how they drew animals. The sound was also 3 dimensional and it was cool to watch it while using my headphones on!!

[@beatricekarlonaite6709]

This is brilliant! Thank you Ted Ed!

[@bokkun9808]

This makes it so much more interesting, not that your normal one aren't. Good job on the video!

[@kheilasreti4535]

[@fiaalazaro3996]

this 360° stuff is so cool

[@LeonhardWindecker]

Usually I find 360 videos a bit confusing, because there is too much to look at, all at the same time... Not so here, well done!

[@VR-jg3sp]

Thanks for the positive comments! I directed the piece. -Lippy

[@quasarbeam-maple]

[@jinkie]

I love this! I've always longed to feel as if the history TED-Ed was painting before us could be deeper experienced and this really left me satisfied. It was so nice to move around and feel as if i was.. one with the animation. haha, but really, i enjoyed this experience and i hope TED-Ed makes more high-quality videos, as they always do :)
