Articulate 360 and VR
Hi - Im just really here for some advice from you sage people really :)
This might be a bit of a weird question, as Im just beginning to look at incorporating VR elements into our eLearning.
I have Articulate 360 and I am considering producing 360 videos and possibly some AR stuff for a project Im about to start.
It will be all hosted on an LMS, but Im unsure about how Storyline connects/works alongside any 360 video element.
Does VR / 360 video require a separate player? If the course is built in Storyline, but includes separate VR elements - how do these work together? Can they work together?
If that all sounds a bit vague Im sorry, Im just trying to piece out how these things pair up, as the project ideally should have lots of interesting aspects to it.
Thanks for your help!

Very interesting thread which I will keep referring back to so I can watch developments.
i am sure someone will have tried/succeeded with the following approach:-
storyline (all versions but particularly 3 for me) supports JavaScript and iFrames so developing something with three.js, ar.js and Awe.js or combinations of two or more would provide an interface to AR from within Storyline?
use and object within the story to launch the iFrame with the url of the AR as the target
if i’m missing or overlooking something please comment as I’d appreciate more specialist guidance
a working demo of the above - or shooting the idea down - would be helpful, so no one goes down a dead end based on my assumption!
Hello Storyline staff,
What's up with 360 features for Storyline ? Is there any star shining in the sky ?
Thank you for your great job.
Hi Benoit,
No changes yet to add in 360-degree videos or virtual reality, but you can always follow along with what's on the horizon by keeping an eye on our What's New, What's Next page!
Hello,
I follow the "What's new, what's next" page but I think we are numerous to expect, at least, an answer : is 360 and VR a point of interest for Articulate or not. And if yes, can we hope a release in 2019 ?Thank you for your work
I think the solution in the meantime would be to create a web object and link it to a browser application that supports at least 360. I haven't tested it with a headset but can if people are interested.
See the attached video.
Yes, I put the image reference in a really bad spot (as you can see in the video). I have since moved it :)
Thank you Steven for this solution. I also thank Julian Davis for his very helpful post (http://juliandavis.com/adding-360-ar-to-storyline-360/).
Thanks Benoit!
Hi everyone,
I have been using Seekbeak to create 360 experiences and it works well when embedding as a web object in Sotryline. Seekbeak is great because there is the ability to add interactivity to 360 images and they have a solid analytics section that enables you to pull data. Here is a quick sample I did for a recent challenge on web objects.

Hello Adam, I've a problem with your link. After clicking on the cupcake, the screen displays exit button only (Firefox and chrome). Can you check please ?
Hi Benoit. Sometimes it take a few seconds to load. I just checked it on Chrome and it worked fine for me.
Here is the direct link to the 360 image that was embedded as a web object:

The guys at H5P have just released their 360 Virtual Tour content type. This content type can be embedded as a web object into your Storyline project easily. The benefit of embedding and it being hosted on another server is that changing the H5P content will be updated without the need to update and republish the Storyline file. Here is a short article on my first look at the content type. http://juliandavis.com/h5p-360-virtual-tour-first-look/
