Object-Intersection Layer Control in Storyline 360
This demo showcases an interactive procedure built in Articulate Storyline 360 using object intersection triggers to control which content layer is displayed. As the learner drags an on-screen object across the interface, Storyline detects when it intersects with specific target areas and automatically reveals the corresponding layer.
The interaction is also fully synced with the seek bar, allowing learners to scrub through the timeline to preview or review each step of the procedure. Whether advanced by dragging the object or by using the seek bar, the visible layer always updates dynamically, creating a smooth, intuitive, and highly responsive learning experience.

I appreciate your ideas on using this technique for displaying information. There are times when I want to enable users to use the seek bar to access information about layers that appear throughout the timeline. I believe this could be a good solution.
Hi larryvanwave-ff thanks so much for sharing!
I like that you synced it with the seekbar to give learners two different ways to explore the same procedure without breaking the logic.
I feel like this could be used in many ways too. A few that came to mind for me:
- Equipment walk-throughs where learners scrub through steps
- When you want a software walkthrough that works both step-by-step and as a free-exploration sandbox
Would love to hear how others might repurpose this.
