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!

Hi Leslie,
I am still awaiting your response

PetePerfect, Pete. I appreciate you sharing that link and your further explanation so that I could understand. We do have an open feature request for this, so I've added this conversation and your additional thoughts as well.
Hello,
There is no mention of Storyline 3 in the Feature Road map for 360° image support. Does this mean that Storyline 3 will not see these features?

Hello Jason,
Thanks for writing in!
We're continuing to support Storyline 3 with bug fixes, but we aren't adding any major new features to Storyline 3 or sharing a release schedule.
We promise to let you know if that changes!
Commenting to get on the notification list. @Katie, is the release of 360 images still planned to launch this year? If there´s a beta tester program, I´d be happy to test out the functionality.
Do you know if the 360 image asset will include all of the features that h5p virtual tour has? https://h5p.org/virtual-tour-360
Yes, it would be good to know if this is actually going to be delivered this year as indicated. Having had time to look at the roadmap, I have to say - other than the possibility of implementing 360 images - which has been asked for 8 years or more - there is not a lot on that list that really excites is there?
Sorry, my bad - over 2 years ago... the over 8 years refers to having items on the master page on top.
Is there anything to report? Be good to know this is actually still on the cards for this year.
Since it seems to be quiet around this topic, I recommend people to try out either h5p Virtual tour (if your LMS supports h5p), or Sharepoint Spaces for the 360 image feature (if you can connect your Sharepoint to a LRS that is). Pros and cons with both, in h5p you can add single choice quizes, but in SP Spaces you can add 3D objects, so if you´re familiar with Blender, you can export your objects as gITF Embedded (but make sure to use simple materials for your 3d object, or it won´t work) to add to your sharepoint space.
Hi Kristoffer,
Many thanks for your post and suggestions.
Worth investigating, but once again, a convoluted workaround for something that many of us believe should have been integrated into Storyline years ago.... No news from what I have read so far - regarding the promised rollout promised before the end of last year???
Regards
PeteSo, we will all have got the latest email from Articulate with the "latest features" and despite being told that they were looking to rollout 360 degree image support before the end of 2020... nothing. Is this still going to happen?
It´s not removed from the roadmap, so there´s that. Only 3 bullets left on the roadmap for Storyline, so we can only hope there´s a final push to complete this feature. But I´m not holding my breath. There´s always the option to switch to Captivate, they have had this feature for 2+ years.

The grand announcement at the beginning of the year of the "new features" was pretty underwhelming - with no mention of the 360 image support as promised to be released late 2020. If it wasnt for clients wanting their eLearning in Storyline... Captivate looks to be a lot more proactive.
