360 photo and video support
We've got a Ricoh Theta 360 degree camera which we're using to create immersive learning experiences.

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).

That's a great point. If I accidentally put too many high-resolution images onto a slide, Storyline will usually crash. I've got 32Gb of RAM in my workstation, but Storyline's stubbornly refusing to access more than the 3Gb limit of a 32bit application.
360 images and photos could exacerbate this issue.
