360 video/virtual reality/augmented reality

Hi Ashley,

I realize it's only been 14 days  since my last post on this subject, but thought I'd check in. Squeaky wheel and grease!  The requests for immersive interactivity is increasing beyond expectations and I'd truly prefer NOT to have move over to Captivate 2019. Sure, inserting as web objects (providing you have a website with java plugins to accommodate 360) works, but you can't put markers, hotspots, etc. for additional activity.

I know the requests for 360 VR/AR is being monitored...gonna keep pushing this up hill!

Thanks!

Following with interest.

In my opinion Articulate need to jump on this to avoid loosing users to the dreaded Captivate. Clients in general have much higher expectations from their learning than a few years ago and to stay ahead of the game Articulate really need to adopt this current growing trend of VR & AR.

I agree that the demand for immersive technology, especially VR in eLearning, is growing by the minute. As employers seek workforce with all-encompassing skills, the talents who author L&T materials for these companies require their software to meet this demand. Staying ahead the curve by adding features such as VR, and offering Articulate 360 for Mac users (without needing to install a Windows environment) would benefit so many of us, without having to consider other software solutions. 

While we are waiting for Storyline (and hopefully Rise also) to get built in VR-features, you could try to use H5P Virtual Tour (360). I have added an example from their website h5p.org, both in Rise and Storyline. The example is just linked but I guess it would be possible to download, adjust and add to the publishing folder.

I haven't tested if I can get the interaction recorded to my LMS but it has support for Tin Can. H5P.com (the commercial site) has a LRS and maybe that could be a way to get it to work.

BTW, H5P.org has many interesting modules I would love to have built into Storyline & Rise.

+1 on adding VR to Articulate

+1 on adding VR to Articulate, urgent :)

I keep checking back on this thread, hoping Articulate will get with the program and add VR and 360 capabilities. I've let my Storyline subscription lapse for the time being, solely because most of my clients are insisting on VR. And, as a heads-up if you really want to be ahead of the curve, I've had a half dozen clients request holographic solutions in addition to VR. I see this only accelerating with the COVID WFH and K-12 virtual learning. Kids, especially, need these advanced tech features to stay engaged.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just found this thread now. As others have said, I cannot afford to use Articulate when it does not offer a VR component. That is why I've switched back to Captivate, much to my chagrin. However, I have to go with what my clients request, and they are all requesting virtual reality and augmented reality. I will not be returning to Articulate until and unless the product has a VR offering.

While 360 images do help, they are by far less versatile than 360 video. I guess I should say congratulations on getting up to 2016 (when most websites started getting 360 image support), but Storyline is still way behind if there's no 360 video/AR/VR support. 

I would strongly prefer to get this support in Storyline so I don't have to buy something from another company to make this work. 

Thanks, Lisa and Dan for adding your voice here. Although I don't have new information to share yet, this is something we're continuing to keep an eye on and I've shared the thoughts here with the team.
