I created this guided VR sample to test out the capabilities of Adobe Captivates 360-degree slides. It’s a blank project containing a video I downloaded online. (2019, February 28. TheTrauger:Control Room Switcher)
I tried linking the 360-degree portion of the project by uploading it under the actions tab>on success option but it wouldn’t play. As a workaround I linked it to an external URL (Amazon S3) and that seemed to do the trick.
However, upon trying to upload it into the Adobe Community I received an error messages. This concerns me because If in the future I try to duplicate this interaction for a real project it will not be accepted by the LMS.
Upon publishing I received a pop-up message with detailed instructions/advice however, I have no idea what they are talking about:
The files/projects listed below are linked to the open project. The linked files/projects may require exporting.
C:/Users/CheRae/Documents/MyAdobeCaptivateProjects/Control Room Training Sample 2.1/index.html (slide2)
This project contains links to external files or projects. After publishing, ensure that you copy all referenced files to the output folder and all referenced projects with their corresponding HRML files to the callees folder in the output folder.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this?
What and where is the callees folder? Where is the output folder? I’m little out of my depth here.
Thanks!
Waiting for your answer to my previous comment, to give more details about your questions. The callees folder in the output folder of a HTML5 project is meant to insert files to be called by the main project.
I cannot edit my previous comment, it is always rejected.
Sorry, should have read your Summary, which explains some details, first of all. Did you not create a blank project with inserted 360 slide? If that is indeed the case, is that because of the LMS problems?
I’m inclined to believe the issue was with the LMS. I had no problem uploading it to my own Prime LMS so the plan is to eliminate that link and revert to simply adding the 360 slide to the blank project.
This is a blank project with a 360 slide. Did you set up the hotspots as ‘Guided’? I suspect so. Did you ever use a playbar, because I see that the bottom border (grey) is still present but couldn’t see where it was used.
I didn’t specify any playbar settings when I made the project so I guess it just came out like that. but I went into the skin editor just now and hid it.
You could use custom images as hotspot, and create a special one for the Question overlays.

Hi CheRae,
What a great example of how VR can be used! I haven’t used VR or Captivate 2019 yet. Is there a way to distinguish between which buttons are information and which are questions? I clicked on the questions before I had read all of the information. Great job!
The question mark icon was intended to represent the quiz and the”I” hotspot is meant to represent “info”. In the future I think it will helpful for me to give instructions on what those hotspots represent. Thanks for your valuable feedback.
