Ways that Virtual Reality is used in Storyline?
Hi. Looking for links to examples that show how Virtual Reality is used in Storyline.
Does Articulate have any plans to incorporate support for VR in upcoming releases? Captivate and Lectora offer VR support.

I just had a look at the 360° image feature and was quite impressed at the accessibility and screen reader support. Really well thought out.
But I'm not entirely sure what the use-case for the 360° images is.
Is there a plan for HMD support, such as cardboards, etc? (Or ideally Oculus/SteamVR/WebXR/etc.)
Otherwise, the potential of 360° images sadly seems slightly wasted, due to an almost total lack of immersion and intuitive interactivity on a 2D screen presentation.
With HMD support it might actually turn out to be an extremely powerful tool for corporate VR learning. All experiences on one platform and on one software. Could be quite amazing.
Especially if combined with an optimized scripting editor or a Unity SDK (yeah, I am really dreaming now).Honestly, I know how difficult and borderline impossible this might be, but who knows. :D
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the future of XR-features and would be really interested if there are any plans for HMD support.- FazalKhan-aee6fCommunity Member

I'm creating a VR 360 photo in Storyline with markers and hotspots. Is the 360 feature (is it correct to call this VR?) accessible at all: can I use a keyboard to navigate for instance, etc. If no, is there any example anyone has of a VR accessibility statement. Thanks for reading
Hi Diane,
Thank you for reaching out! I'm happy to share that keyboard navigation is available when navigating 360 Degree images.
You can jump from one hotspot or marker to the next by selecting the Tab key. Press Shift+Tab to move in the reverse order. Selecting the Escape key, will close a hotspot or marker label. You can learn more about adding accessibility features to 360 Degree images, here!
If you discover an accessibility issue or would like to share your feedback, please let us know here!
