NotificationI’m impressed! With Adobe Captivate 2017 we had to wait for over a year before we saw an update to 2017 release. Here we are slightly more than a month has transpired and we now have some bug fixes and security updates to Captivate 2019. I hope that is a sign of things to come. Not that there are many things wrong with Captivate, but instead they work quickly to resolve any issues that come up.
So here is the skinny. When running virtual reality content on iOS devices the display was not as you expected and was cut off when an LMS launched the course in an iFrame.

In the process we will come across few settings and the two compatibility modes : daydream view and the google cardboard view; how can a learner interact with VR courses in these modes. What is daydream? Daydream is a Virtual Reality Platform developed by […]
Good evening! My team just recently moved to the 2019 release. Everything seemed to be running smoothly. However ALL of our projects will not load properly in our LMS. We have checked every setting we could find to make sure that everything is set exactly as it was when we were using 2017, we did this because we have one machine that has not been updated. I previewed in the Scorm Cloud so I’m sure its not our LMS. I’ve […]
Captivate 2019 is a powerful tool for creating interactive eLearning content with advanced features, such as interactive video and virtual reality.
