Tribute in Light 2010 (360VR)
The Tribute in Light is an art installation of 88 searchlights placed next to the site of the World Trade Center to create two vertical columns of light in remembrance of the September 11 attacks. Each beam represents a tower from the Twin Towers. It initially ran as a temporary installation from March 11 to April 14, 2002 and was launched again in 2003 to mark the second anniversary of the attack. As of 2010, it has been repeated every year on September 11. In December 2009, it was confirmed that the Tribute in Light would continue through to the tenth anniversary of the attacks in 2011.

The above image is a 360 VR image from inside of one the beams that make the Tribute in Light 2010.
The white streaks across the lights are birds flying over each beam of light. As a bird flies over a beam of light the bird’s underbelly shines bright from the reflection.
