360° Image viewing

Has anyone else ever tried to import a 360° image into a Storyline file? I'm using Storyline 360 for training purposes and would like to include a picture in which someone can look around a room and identify key items. It would look similar to the images that were flooding Facebook for some time. You can click into the image and then scroll around or change the angle at which your device was pointed and look around in an environment...any suggestions appreciated.
I've tried once but it just wants to flatten the image and create a panoramic picture.
Thanks!

Hey Sean!
I haven't seen any examples of 360 images used in Storyline, but this slider-controlled exploration is pretty neat! Would something like that work for what you had in mind?
Hey Ashley!
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you looking into this. Loving the look and control of it. I'll move this up the ladder to my supervisor and see if this will work.
Here is an example of a 3D object being displayed inside a Storyline webobject. And here are examples of using Storyline image objects with custom states to provide 3D rotation (see the 4th and 5th example).
Here is a tutorial I wrote about how to rotate a 3D object in Storyline. The principles would be the same for a 3D scene assuming you have all the relevant views you'd need to make it work.

Thanks Michael! I actually have some other guys in our department that could benefit from this type of view. Much appreciated!
David, these are great! Thanks for your help especially the tutorial!
Team,
i have a 360 photo and video, is there somehow we could embedded this into the rise or 360?
i can send someone a sample to try and help with.

Hey Ron,
It sounds like you are looking for some community collaboration.
I just wanted to let you know that we are tracking requests for additional VR and 360 support, so I'm adding this conversation as well :)
Great news.............how long before we will have this?

hello ...i like the drone in the 360 mode as well as the black box.......would you be able to share the actual storyline file so i can edit ?
Hello. I am doing 360 image / interactive exploration in Captivate now. Very buggy. I would be happy to beta test a similar functionality for Articulate Storyline!! :)
Thanks, everyone!

Please include me too! Highly anticipated in our organization.
I’m hoping to be able and add custom animated hotspots with transparency over the 360 VR images...and over 360 video.
