360 interaction suggestions

Some suggestions for Storyline 360 image interactions:

  • Let us position labels. If I create a label for a hotspot, it overlaps the hotspot, meaning I can't click on part of that hotspot (and the user can't even see that part), which rather defeats the purpose. Also, I might want the label to not cover part of the 360 image, but now I can't move it.
  • Allow placing images/shapes/etc. in the 360 environment. For instance, I might want an arrow pointing at a button or a door. In the current system, this is not possible.
  • Allow scripted view direction changes. For instance, if I enter a room from the north, I should be facing south. If I enter the room from the west, I should be facing east. This could either be literal scripting (JavaScript) or a pre-entry event with triggers.

 I've mentioned one of these in another thread, but ....

Any other customers want to add your suggestions below?

    OK, I just found by fiddling around that you can set the initial view in an interaction easily with the Initial View panel, Edit button.

    Unless you're doing a guided tour. Then you can't. 

    What? Why?

    It appears that guided tours always put the first "station" of the tour (marker or hotspot) in the exact center of the viewport. That's a fine default, but what if I want to override it? Answer: tough luck.
