360 photo and video support

The main competitor to Articulate Storyline has released software version which introduces the option to import 360° media assets where you can add hotspots, quizzes on top of 360 elements. I'm hoping Articulate to update Storyline to VR experience friendly version soon :)

Hi all, 

We're working on the ability to add 360 degree media assets to your courses, and include various interactive elements to those assets. We're confident this feature will be in your hands by the end of the year.

Those are all the details I have, but we'll share more updates here as we have them!

I have a Ricoh Theta 360 camera and am exploring the use of 360 images and video. I got Captivate 2019 to develop and test out possible new elearning approaches. It is very easy to import the 360 images or video into Captivate and add markers to it.

There are certainly many exciting possibilities for using this software, not only for training / education, but also for virtual tours of museums, historical buildings, tourist attractions and homes for sale. So this combination expands the number of potential clients that I can serve.

However, one note of caution. I notice that working with 360 images/video requires a lot of computing power. So unless StoryLine becomes available in a 64 bit version, I don't see the 360 degree option being workable / feasible on the present SL 32 bit platform. (One thing I really love about Captivate (64 bit) is that there is no lag when using the timeline; with SL I have to wait 3 to 7 seconds every time I want to synchronize voice over with animation).

Yes, my colleague and I trialed CenarioVR (Trivantis) and I saw a webinar for Adobe Captivate. Both had features and platforms to import 360 photos or video, then overlay hotspots that "live" in that 360 perspective. Each had triggers to perform actions like going to a new scene or panning to an object somewhere else in the 360 environment. Since we partnered with Articulate, using the 360 platform, and also would like to create these 360° experiences, we're hopeful that Arlyn will be telling us of "the new 360° feature in Articulate 360." 

I'm following this thread. I have been an Articulate user for years. The Cenario VR product is very nice looking and the Captivate 2019 release has me itching to try it. Come on Articulate 360, 360, or maybe its called Articulate 360 squared???

Hi, Im at the 6 month mark of waiting for 360 functionality for pictures and videos  in Articulate. I have moved on and have developed several 360 SCORMS in a competing software, ending in -A-T-E. It is very user friendly and I can create a 360 SCORM in less than 10 minutes with a photo.

I cant share my work, as my company prohibits that, but its easy to find examples. I was an avid Articulate user for many years, hope they catch up soon. Maybe you could get a subscription to the other software and play around...

Best,

GT

I agree with the two previous posts...360 functionality is a huge feature that needs to be added.

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. 

CAn't wait for Storyline to come up with this functionality without having to pay more.

Hello.

This is a deal-breaker. With VR learning experiences being a top trend, a product that lacks support is falling behind. 

Please, please implement at least 360' support and provide VR support, like competitors do.
