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!
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.

David, these are great! Thanks for your help especially the tutorial!
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 :)
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?
Thanks Michael! I actually have some other guys in our department that could benefit from this type of view. Much appreciated!
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 ?
Thanks for checking back in, Ron! 😊
I don't have an ETA to share as of yet, but I promise we'll keep everyone here in the know with any new information. This discussion is tagged to our VR and 360° support request's report, so if there's any forward movement, everyone here will get an email notification.
Katie - replying to be included on the email notification.
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.
Thanks for chiming in, folks! If we add this feature in the future, you'll be among the first to know about it!
This would be a great feature!
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.
Any new news on this front? I'm mainly commenting so that if there is a release I'll be notified ✌
Me too... be great to hear something official on this.

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.
