901 Case Study: Using Interactive 360 Video to Explore a Data Center

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Thursday, June 28

Garden

In many companies, all of the most important data and technologies sit inside high-security locations that most employees can’t ever access. But this data and equipment represents 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 learn how a team was approached with a standard request—“We want to convert this Flash course to Articulate Storyline”—that started a conversation on the “art of what’s possible.” The result is an immersive 360-degree and panoramic experience, in which learners can feel like they are actually in a data center and explore key components and equipment. You will see how the team solved both a learning dilemma (old learning technologies) and an access dilemma (employees couldn’t go inside) in one solution!

In this session, you will learn:

  • About the design and development of an immersive 360 video experience for a large telecommunications data center
  • How they partnered with the client to share the cost of the solution, given the ambiguity of the scope
  • How to determine what hardware and software to invest in based on the client’s needs (e.g., equipment in the facility can change)
  • How to storyboard the experience, plan the shoot, and film the footage
  • How to deploy solutions within employee training programs that meet all learners’ needs

Audience:

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

Technology discussed in this session:

Insta360 camera, camera gimbal mount, Boris FX, Mocha VR, and Kolor Panotour Pro.
