A 360o image is a photographic/graphic image that is designed to be rendered by the computer as a 360o sphere, with your learner looking out from the absolute center of the sphere. If you take a look at a 360o image outside Captivate, it appears distorted, with curved edges at the top and bottom. Let’s take a look at one such image:
- Use Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) to navigate to the Chapter11/images folder for the exercises.
- Double-click the Living Room.jpeg image to open it in the default image viewer of your system.
The following screenshot represents the Living Room.jpeg image as seen on a Mac using the Preview application:
This is the same image that was used in the example project you previewed in Chapter 01, Getting Started with Adobe Captivate 2019. Notice how the image is distorted and has curved edges when viewed outside Captivate.
- Close the image and return to the Captivate project...
