360 video/virtual reality/augmented reality

Hi Ashley, 

It's an extreme disappointment to read your response to Jennifer that this isn't on the roadmap for Articulate. I don't know about others, but this has given me pause to consider potentially jumping ship as I have a large portion of customers wanting the questions in VR, not just the content; with Articulates current roadmap layout, I'll be left behind with what other Id's are developing. 

Features combined with Monthly subscription; might just be worth the hassle of learning some new software. 

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!

Thank you for the feedback - I genuinely love working the Articulate products; it's just disappointing seeing what the competitors are able to achieve, and we aren't even in the same field. 

I agree with Shannon....to find out that VR is not on the immediate road map is a disappointment. 

Hi All, 

and let me share my view on the 360 and VR in eLearning.
I am in the process of creating a course that will use the VR tour as the main scene. I will place a few smaller activities within this VR tour and the learner needs to do them all. 

I didn't find a tool that would allow me to track those activities in the VR tour and pass the score/result to Storyline or LMS, so at the end of every small activity, there is a word/phrase to collect that needs to be manually entered into the articulate textbox. 

As I would love to share this publicly, I can't, but if anyone is interested I can point them to the tool or help with the solutions I used. 

Hey Shannon,

Thanks for letting us know how important this feature is to you. We've seen lots of requests for this in the past few months, and we're taking a closer look at it! If we add this feature in a future update of Storyline 360, you'll be among the first to hear about it. 

I'm seeing both sides...I think.

Yes, it would be totally awesome for Articulate to join in on what is definitely next, in terms of learner experience. The  Z Generation only knows tech, and as they begin to populate jobs, technology and virtual is their jam. Articulate being in this space makes this the best of the best, because of the forums, the company, the ease and complexity of the Storyline, 360 capabilities.

Now, I also see value in holding. When captivate 8 came out with responsive design, it was incredibly challenging to design in the software. Constant manipulation to make sure it was truly responsive. I spent a great deal of time changing PC, tablet, and mobile responsiveness. Storyline, and 360, no manipulation, what's so ever. I've never had a problem. So I get, "waiting and seeing". 

I've attended many Captivate 2019 webinars, and it is exciting. It's also a bit clunky, like Captivate 8 was. But, it is in the space. I've lost many client bids, because I haven't designed 360 or virtual eLearning. it's expensive to get all the supporting equipment, especially if you're in your own gig, and even if your not, a company may be very hesitant to invest in the supporting equipment.

So, Articulate...put it on your roadmap! I believe the Articulate developers and engineers will get it right, and get right better, than anyone else. Let's just do it SOOOOON!

Cheers!

Hi Jennifer,

It's not on our roadmap to add virtual reality or 360-degree videos, but we're tracking customer demand for it. I've added this discussion to our report so we'll keep you posted here if it makes the list! 

You can see discussions such as here where some folks have set it up using web objects or similar or this discussion here provides some ideas.

I agree. Articulate have the best tools for eLearning and I love to work in Storyline & Rise. But no VR even on the roadmap? Adobe Captivate had VR in their latest release (oktober 2018). 

Add my name to the list. My brother makes a great deal of money developing VR training through other products (not necessarily an authoring tool, but VR/AR developing kits that he builds his own environments and such). Nevertheless, the market is already there and eLearning masters alike have all predicted that VR/AR training is the way the industry is going. It would be great to have the ability to do such things (even if basic versions at first) in Articulate. 

Articulate is by far the best authoring tool I have used, but without VR/AR on the roadmap, it is worth investing int the time and potential clunkiness of other products if they offer the newest features. Not to mention they are typically cheaper than Articulate.
