Abstract

Designers can immerse themselves into the world of users by using 360° video leading to richer insights and better solutions. However, 360° video is challenging to share and incompatible with existing tools, preventing designers from effectively integrating it into their iterative and collaborative workflows. To address these challenges, we developed D360, a tool that enables designers to view, annotate, and collaboratively analyze 360° video. D360 features a web-based 360° video viewing and annotation tool, a database, and Miro integration to analyze 360° video using a familiar collaborative process. We evaluated D360 using walk-throughs with six professional designers that verified its utility and identified improvements to creating and presenting annotations. By providing both design directions for future 360° video tools for designers and our open source tool, we enable practitioners and researchers to leverage the rich interaction and visual context of 360° video for more impactful insights.
