Captivate Apartment Tour VR Project

Project preview in Adobe: Hello everyone and welcome to my very first virtual reality project. This is simply a walk-around the apartment with multiple interactions. Since the VR project in Adobe Captivate is very limited and interaction icons are not displayed on the entire timeline, but only on certain time-frames, I discovered that if the user presses the play button on the playbar, all the interaction icons will just disappear as the project progresses.

They use games without a legitimate goal Using fun activities on an online course will boost participant activity, that’s true.
