Has anyone heard any updates on Storyline support of 360 photos and videos? Adobe Captivate and a bunch others already have these features, so it seems like a no-brainer for Articulate to follow suit (and possibly improve upon the features).
This thread is two years old. The only updates are "we're keeping an eye on it". This shouldn't take that long to evaluate if it is possible to add a feature like this or no it's not. Pretty disappointing. If someone is working on it, please tell us, if not please tell us.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful in understanding why "we're keeping an eye on it".
So, it's not just if it's possible or not, but other factors as well.
We attach forum discussions along with support cases to the requests as needed so that we can provide updates when applicable. No update doesn't mean it's off the table though.
We have a big company and have one of the top training departments in the world. Unfortunately Articulate is not keeping up with the competition. I am seriously evaluating other options.
I agree Sarah. Adobe came out with 360 video support over a year ago, and even supports VR creation. While there hasn't been any movement on the Articulate front for this type of support. Even an agile approach, i.e. 360 photo support would be a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, I am considering other options as well. :(
What gets me is there is SEVERAL free 360 video and photo viewers and players that are open source that have already built the framework to integrate it into a software application! The work is pretty much done for Articulate, they just have to validate and test it within their software coding! I used one of the open source platforms and just built my own content around it and use that within my storyline 360 courses as a web object, but it can be viewed offline since I built the viewer and can integrate it into my SCORM output file for my LMS to reference when 360 content is used. If I can figure out how to make it work without access to articulate source code, I would hope they could implement 360 photo and video support in a timely fashion.
The last time the What's New page was updated was back in May and only has items that are already available. It would be good to know what's on the horizon and the expected dates when those features will become available.
Yes I would love to see 360 photo and video support in Articulate 360. I work in Government and we are use storyline and rise to develop training courses and recently purchased CenarioVR just to help with the 360 photos and videos work we do. I wish it was all possible using Articulate 360.
I will enter this bandwagon too. We are considering either Captivate or Articulate, but if articulate won't support 3d/vr, we'll unfortunately have to go with Captivate. A shame really, considering its interface. Please send over an email in case you implement it!
Is this feature going to be added. We are evaluating adding Storyline 360 to replace Captivate 2019. If 360 photos and video are not going to be added, it will be a show stopper. 360 photos and video work seamlessly in Captivate and there are good tools to use in the 360 environment.
I was just told by Storyline sales team, they are looking at the market to see what the demand is for 360 photos and video. There is not timeline for implementing into the product. You will have to stay with Captivate to use 360 photos and video in your projects.
I am confused about what market they are looking at. VR is in demand especially in the 30 and younger demographic. The number of new products in the market place and at CES this year adequately demonstrates the trend of using VR environments. We are trying to keep our training revelent and focus on the new work force entering our manufacturing environments.
Sounds like code language for - "we can't figure out how to implement this properly" OR "developing this or licensing the technology is too expensive" They know there's a need for it!!
I have a project right now (Workplace Security) that would benefit greatly from at least some 360 photos. I already have a 360 camera. That and some hot spots would be simple work great.

Hi Greg,

Our What's New, What's Next page is a good place to keep a pulse on what is on the horizon.

Wow, Robert. I'd be interested to see where that goes. Could you share your findings? Please, please, please... :)
Yes. Please share, Robert.
Yes I would love to see 360 photo and video support in Articulate 360. I work in Government and we are use storyline and rise to develop training courses and recently purchased CenarioVR just to help with the 360 photos and videos work we do. I wish it was all possible using Articulate 360.
We're also looking at virtual tour 360. I'm hoping we don't have to go back to Captivate to use it.
That's what I wish for our university projects.
I may have to look into other viewers/options. eLearning Brothers just added 360 videos to their stock asset library.
I will enter this bandwagon too. We are considering either Captivate or Articulate, but if articulate won't support 3d/vr, we'll unfortunately have to go with Captivate. A shame really, considering its interface. Please send over an email in case you implement it!
This is very important for technical projects.
Please add the capabilities!
I'm adding my vote. Yes please add this feature so we don't have to look elsewhere.
Absolutely possible to do that in 360 photos/videos, whether its possible to integrate them within Storyline is the real question......
Hi,
It would be great if this feature could be added to Storyline.
Allowing a user to drag around a 360 still photo, with embedded hotspots etc would be very useful at the least. 360 video would be even more useful.
Please let us know any update on this.
Thank you very much.
Ok, we're in the boat, too.
Let us deploy 360° video in 360! Storyline, Rise...whatever the shortest path is to be able to navigate and interact with the video content.
Thank you!

That would be unfortunate.

It is very easy to do in Captivate. I am building a course right now and you can add all the hotspots and navigation right on the 360 image.
