CenarioVR: The Essentials

A hands-on, step-by-step guide to creating immersive virtual reality training and eLearning

CenarioVR is an eLearning development tool that makes creating interactive virtual reality (VR) training easy.

During the activities and challenge exercises in this hands-on, step-by-step workbook, you will learn how to use CenarioVR to create VR courses.

Your completed projects will include 360-degree images, text, interactive hotspots, motion paths, timed events, actions, drag-and-drop interactivity, quizzes, and more!

You'll first learn about the CenarioVR interface by importing and exploring a finished project. After exploring a bit, you'll create a project from scratch. Next, you will add scenes both manually and via AI. Then you'll add images, hotspots, and audio to a scenario.

Once you're comfortable creating projects, you can move on to the cool stuff. Add panning jumps, actions, conditional actions, motion paths, quizzes, and even drag-and-drop interactions.

You'll learn how to leverage variables that will score and display quiz results. You'll publish a finished project as HTML5 so learners on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones can view your VR.

You'll also learn how to output SCORM packages that will work with and report results to any SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.
