In many companies, all the most important data and technologies sit inside high-security locations that most employees can’t ever access. But the data and equipment represent a direct link to the customer experience, and it’s important for employees to understand what is inside these centers and what it means for their services. How can you give employees a realistic and immersive view inside what is typically unseen?

In this session, you will find out how one team took a standard request—“We want to convert this Flash course to Articulate Storyline”—and started the conversation of the “art of what’s possible” with an immersive 360 and panoramic experience, in which learners can feel like they are actually in the data center and explore key components and equipment. You will see how the team both solved a learning dilemma (old learning technologies) and an access dilemma (employees can’t go inside) in one solution.

In this session, you will learn:

• How the team designed and developed an immersive 360-degree video experience for a large telecommunications data center
• How they decided what hardware and software to invest in based on the client’s needs
• How they storyboarded the experience, planned the shoot, and filmed the footage
• How they developed the end solution by stitching together panoramic stills, creating 360 hotspots, and creating actual 360 video footage in one seamless experience
• How they deployed the solution within employee training programs that met all the needs of the learners, including those who wanted more (or less) immersive experiences

Audience:

Designers, developers, managers, and senior leaders (directors, VP, CLO, executive, etc.)

Technology discussed in this session:

Insta360 VR camera, camera gimbal mount, BorisFX Mocha VR, and Kolor Panotour Pro (as well as other off-the-shelf tools and why they were not chosen)
