There’s a lot to love in the 2019 Release of Adobe Captivate, but the big headline has to be that the creation of 360 Virtual Reality (VR) simulations and training are supported in this release. You might think that would add a lot of complexity to the authoring tool, but nope. I actually found it takes only seconds to create VR content with the quick and easy tools Adobe has included. I’ll drill down into the examples and activities in […]
