360 video/virtual reality/augmented reality

Hi James!

360° Images is in beta right now! We've got a number of Articulate users testing it out, so we'll keep folks posted as we're closer to a release date.

You can also take a look at our Articulate 360 Roadmap here to see what else is coming soon! 

I will be making the case to purchase SL360, but before I do I need to know how the launch is going. I know it is in BETA testing – what is the timeframe for a full release/update?

Hi Michael,

Fancy seeing you here. It was great chatting with you today and I look forward to hearing more about what you're working on and creating.

Is there anywhere to upvote requests for 360/3D video/images/etc?

Especially in the pandemic - AR training is so necessary. We finally have a world where there's buy-in for effective, immersive, and scalable virtual training. 

If we don't take advantage of that - we're going to backslide once things go back to "normal". There's really no time to wait for this feature.

This is the most impactful limitation of articulate, and our team is at the point of re-evaluating choosing storyline over captivate.

Hi Wade,

Thanks for following up! Our team follows every discussion and keeps an eye on feature requests made, so rest assured we're taking every upvote into account!

A quick update on where we stand: Our 360-degree images feature had some helpful beta user feedback during the first round, so we've been actively making enhancements to get it right.

Since you're subscribed to this discussion now, you'll get notified immediately when it goes live!

I know I'm late to the party, but I just found this thread now. As others have said, I cannot afford to use Articulate when it does not offer a VR component. That is why I've switched back to Captivate, much to my chagrin. However, I have to go with what my clients request, and they are all requesting virtual reality and augmented reality. I will not be returning to Articulate until and unless the product has a VR offering.

Please keep us informed. We can't wait two years for this to come back around again. Our people are asking for this ability now, and as others have said, though we despise the other tools, we have to use them because Articulate is not offering this current functionality.

Any decisions made on this yet? I would love to have the VR feature added to storyline. Such a shame that it's not already implemented. It forces me to have to use Adobe Captivate for any VR projects and I'd much rather have an all in one software to use, which I guess captivate would be that software, but Articulate is such a better platform.

I am subscribing to 360 soon. Hopefully the VR will be ready soonest

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are being requested by hundreds of customers....Articulate team, please wake up... At least share pipeline for external integration...In the last company we have our custom LMS and we have well defined AR/VR content embedded within HTML5... 

Hi has there been any update on this? I'd really like to start using it

Hi Ashley can you please provide an update on this?

Hi Oliver,

Our initial ship date has shifted after further feedback from our beta users. Apologies for any delay that's causing you - but we'll be certain to let folks know as soon as it's ready to go.

Hi, 

I'm echoing the request for support on A/R and V/R projects.  We enjoy using Articulate Storyline, but we're beginning to get lots of requests for augmented reality in healthcare.  Please consider adding support for 360 degree videos to your roadmap.  

Hi, everyone!

I have exciting news to share!
We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 54, we’ve included important fixes and new features.

One of the features we’ve included is:

Create immersive learning experiences with 360° images. Add interactive elements, such as hotspots and markers to engage learners as they explore.

360° images are currently in public beta for Storyline 360, which means you can use them for production as we continue to enhance them.

To take advantage of this feature, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or directly reaching out to our Support Engineers.

Hello Ngozi!

We are continuing to work on 360° images, so 360° video isn't a primary focus right now. If it makes it on our roadmap, we'll be sure to update this discussion.

While 360 images do help, they are by far less versatile than 360 video. I guess I should say congratulations on getting up to 2016 (when most websites started getting 360 image support), but Storyline is still way behind if there's no 360 video/AR/VR support. 

I would strongly prefer to get this support in Storyline so I don't have to buy something from another company to make this work. 

The last comment was 2 years ago. is AR or VR available in Articulate now? Demand for training that uses this feature is way up and not going away. Please let us know if or when. Need this available in a month or we will need to use different software that will allow it. Thanks!

This is a welcomed addition to Storyline, if I can get it to work. I tried to capture 360 images using several app on my Android phone, but Storyline said that all of them are not in the right ratio. What's recommended tools to use to capture the 360 images that Storyline can use well. 

Hi Andreas,

Did you try the panorama mode on the Android camera?

Storyline 360 supports equirectangular panoramas in all standard image formats for creating 360° image interactions. We recommend using JPG for better compression. For the best results, make sure your 360° image has a 2:1 aspect ratio.

Tom mentioned Android here as well, so I look forward to hearing from others in the community on what they are using.

Any news about this request? 

Hi Carina, and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! ✨

While I have no updates to share, this is a current feature request. We will update you in the thread if it makes it onto our feature roadmap in the future.
