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!

I've been waiting for this 360 feature myself over the last year. The work I do on construction sites makes 360 video and stills an important tool in highlighting all the dangers that can occur, which are not clearly visible on a flat plane, single camera shot. Right now, I have to take a learner out of the Articulate program to a different graded SCORM package that utilizes the 360 images/video and then when the learner completes part 2 of the course they are done. It would be nice to have it all in one learning program and a single SCROM per course. Thanks.

Be nice to hear from Articulate!!!
I'm happy to share where we are at with 360º Images. This feature is still in beta. We are working with our beta group on improvements, so we don't have a public launch date to share just yet. We'll be sure to update this discussion when the feature is ready to ship!

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for your response, it is certainly better than the deafening silence we have had up until now.
I am still a little mystified, given that we were promised this at the end of last year though??
Would it be possible to see the beta?
RegardsPete
Hello Pete!
I can understand your frustration around this feature taking longer than expected. We’ve had a few rounds of review with our beta testers and are currently refining the feature. I’ll be happy to reach out to our Engineering crew to see if they have more openings in beta. They’ll reach out to you directly if so.

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.- CristinaColq939Community Member
Thanks for this update, Maria! In the how-to guide, it says that accessibility will be added to it. Do you know when that will be available, and can you tell me in the meantime if the 360 image option is accessible at all? Thanks for your help!
Hi Cristina,
Accessibility is currently a work in progress while this feature is in public beta. Currently you can use the arrow keys to pan around the image but more aspects of accessibility will come over the next several updates! Out of curiosity, is there something specific you're looking to do or just looking for overall accessibility?
