We've got a Ricoh Theta 360 degree camera which we're using to create immersive learning experiences. I'm trying to find out if Storyline 360 has support for 360 photos but having 360 in the product name makes searching hard!

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???

Following this thread. My company has acquired a Go Pro 360 camera. Interested to know if there is a movement to this thread.

Thanks again, and you can keep up with all the new and exciting things we're adding to Articulate 360 on our What's New, What's Next page!

Has anyone heard any updates on Storyline support of 360 photos and videos? Adobe Captivate and a bunch others already have these features, so it seems like a no-brainer for Articulate to follow suit (and possibly improve upon the features).

Hi Greg,

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful in understanding why "we're keeping an eye on it".

So, it's not just if it's possible or not, but other factors as well.

We attach forum discussions along with support cases to the requests as needed so that we can provide updates when applicable. No update doesn't mean it's off the table though.

Our What's New, What's Next page is a good place to keep a pulse on what is on the horizon.

  Hi Leslie,
  
  The last time the What's New page was updated was back in May and only has items that are already available. It would be good to know what's on the horizon and the expected dates when those features will become available.
  
  Cheers
  
  Chris

We have a big company and have one of the top training departments in the world. Unfortunately Articulate is not keeping up with the competition. I am seriously evaluating other options.

  I agree Sarah. Adobe came out with 360 video support over a year ago, and even supports VR creation. While there hasn't been any movement on the Articulate front for this type of support. Even an agile approach, i.e. 360 photo support would be a step in the right direction.
  
  Unfortunately, I am considering other options as well. :(

Yes. Please share, Robert.
