A deliberate technical exploration

When Articulate 360 introduced 360° panoramic functionality in Storyline, I didn't wait for a client project to explore it. I built one myself.

A self-initiated prototype to master Storyline's 360° environment capabilities and show how immersive design could work in real corporate learning.

I chose Bill Baggs Lighthouse and the Key Biscayne coastline on purpose. A visually rich setting gives the experience a genuine sense of place.

I didn't wait for permission to learn something new. I went and built it.

What I'd do differently

Looking at this project today through a learning architecture lens, here is where I'd take it next.

  • Formal usability testing with a small group of learners to identify friction points in the navigation and hotspot flow, refining the experience before considering it production-ready.
  • Accessibility enhancements as a priority in any production version, ensuring the 360° experience is fully navigable for learners who use assistive technology.

Design highlights

Every choice served the same goal: make the 360° environment feel like a place worth exploring.

A look inside

A few screens from the finished experience and the build behind it.

This same architecture transfers directly to corporate learning: a safety module where learners spot hazards in a simulated facility, or an immersive onboarding that lets new hires explore their workplace before day one. That's where immersive design stops being a technical demonstration and starts being a genuine business solution.
