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???

Adding my vote here as well! Is the end of the year still the target for these capabilities?

  Hi Jeffton!
  
  360° Images is currently in development! Trust me, it's incredible! We'll report back to this discussion when the feature is ready to ship.

    Hi Lauren, I work for London Underground and this feature would be incredibly useful. Imagine looking around a train cab and interacting with hotspots. We bought a Captivate licence for this purpose alone.
    
    When do you expect this feature to be released? Is there a beta programme I can join for early access?

So the 360-feature is in beta? Im sorry but this is ridiculous.. Its a feature that should have been implemented 10 years ago! I use Storyline everyday, but im constantly looking for alternatives because there´s so many features it doenst support! :(

  Hi Emil. We gave up on Articulate implementing 360 a long time ago. Our LMS is Moodle which now has H5P embedded as standard. H5P has a 360 feature that meets our needs just fine.
  
  I would like Articulate to know that it's nice to offer a Beta channel, but it would be highly irresponsible for us to develop production packages in Beta software.

Hi Robert, Andrea, Tony, and Developer Team,

I appreciate you reaching out regarding the beta program as we continue to refine the 360 images feature for everyone!

I've shared your requests with our team internally. They'll be sure to contact you directly if they find it's a good fit!
