## Implementation Patterns
### Pattern 1: 360° Video Learning Experience
Complete example for virtual field trip:
```typescript
import { ImmersiveMedia } from '@wia/immersive-media';
async function createVirtualFieldTrip() {
const im = new ImmersiveMedia({ apiKey: API_KEY });
// Create 360° video
const video = im.create360Video({
source: 'ancient-rome-8k.mp4',
projection: 'equirectangular',
stereoMode: 'top-bottom',
controls: true,
initialView: { yaw: 0, pitch: 0 }
});
// Add educational hotspots
video.addHotspot({
position: { yaw: 45, pitch: 5 },
time: 15.5,
content: 'The Colosseum',
type: 'quiz',
data: {
question: 'When was the Colosseum built?',
options: ['70-80 AD', '100 AD', '50 BC', '200 AD'],
correct: 0
}
});
video.addHotspot({
position: { yaw: -30, pitch: -10 },
time: 45.0,
content: 'Roman Forum',
type: 'info',
onClick: () => {
showAdditionalResources('roman-forum');
}
});
// Track engagement
video.on('hotspot-click', (hotspot) => {
im.analytics.trackEvent({
type: 'interaction',
target: hotspot.content,
timestamp: Date.now()
});
});
video.on('ended', () => {
im.analytics.trackProgress({
lessonId: 'ancient-rome-tour',
completionPercentage: 100
});
showAssessment();
});
await video.play();
}
```
### Pattern 2: Interactive 3D Model Exploration
```typescript
async function create3DMoleculeViewer() {
const im = new ImmersiveMedia({ apiKey: API_KEY });
// Load 3D model
const dna = im.create3DModel({
source: 'dna-double-helix.glb',
position: [0, 1.5, -2],
scale: [2, 2, 2],
animations: ['rotate', 'unwind', 'replicate']
});
await dna.load();
// Add interactive annotations
dna.addAnnotation({
position: [0.5, 2, 0],
label: 'Nucleotide',
description: 'Basic building block of DNA',
autoShow: false
});
dna.addAnnotation({
position: [0, 1.5, 0.3],
label: 'Hydrogen Bond',
description: 'Connects complementary base pairs',
autoShow: false
});
// Interactive controls
document.getElementById('rotate-btn').onclick = () => {
dna.playAnimation('rotate', true);
};
document.getElementById('unwind-btn').onclick = () => {
dna.playAnimation('unwind', false);
};
// VR mode support
if (await im.getCapabilities().vr) {
document.getElementById('vr-btn').onclick = async () => {
const session = await im.startSession('immersive-vr');
session.addObject(dna);
};
}
}
```
### Pattern 3: Spatial Audio Science Lab
```typescript
async function createVirtualLab() {
const im = new ImmersiveMedia({ apiKey: API_KEY });
// Setup spatial audio environment
const audio = im.createSpatialAudio({
environment: 'classroom',
reverb: 0.2,
attenuation: 'inverse'
});
// Add ambient lab sounds
audio.addSource({
id: 'hvac',
position: [0, 3, 0],
audio: 'hvac-ambient.mp3',
volume: 0.2,
loop: true,
spatial: true
});
// Add equipment sounds at their positions
audio.addSource({
id: 'bunsen-burner',
position: [-2, 1, -1],
audio: 'bunsen-flame.mp3',
volume: 0.5,
loop: true
});
audio.addSource({
id: 'beaker-bubbling',
position: [1, 1.2, -0.5],
audio: 'chemical-reaction.mp3',
volume: 0.6,
loop: false
});
// Narration follows user or comes from specific location
const narration = audio.addSource({
id: 'instructor',
position: [0, 1.7, 2],
audio: 'lab-instructions.mp3',
volume: 0.8,
spatial: true
});
// Update listener position as user moves
im.on('user-move', (position) => {
audio.setListenerPosition(position);
});
}
```
### Pattern 4: Multi-Platform Deployment
```typescript
// Detect platform and optimize accordingly
async function initializeImmersiveContent() {
const im = new ImmersiveMedia({
apiKey: API_KEY,
quality: 'auto' // Automatically adjusts to device
});
const caps = await im.getCapabilities();
if (caps.vr) {
// High-fidelity VR experience
return await createVRExperience(im);
} else if (caps.ar) {
// AR experience for mobile
return await createARExperience(im);
} else {
// Fallback to 360° video or 3D viewer
return await create360Experience(im);
}
}
async function createVRExperience(im) {
const session = await im.startSession('immersive-vr');
// Load high-quality 3D models
const model = im.create3DModel({
source: 'high-poly-model.glb',
lighting: 'realistic'
});
session.addObject(model);
return session;
}
async function createARExperience(im) {
const session = await im.startSession('immersive-ar');
// Load optimized AR models
const model = im.create3DModel({
source: 'mobile-optimized.usdz',
scale: [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]
});
session.addObject(model);
return session;
}
async function create360Experience(im) {
return im.create360Video({
source: 'fallback-360.mp4',
controls: true
});
}
```
## Integration with Learning Management Systems
### SCORM Integration
```typescript
// SCORM wrapper for immersive content
class ImmersiveScormWrapper {
constructor(immersiveContent) {
this.content = immersiveContent;
this.scorm = window.API_1484_11; // SCORM 2004 API
}
initialize() {
this.scorm.Initialize('');
this.scorm.SetValue('cmi.completion_status', 'incomplete');
this.scorm.SetValue('cmi.success_status', 'unknown');
}
trackProgress(percentage) {
this.scorm.SetValue('cmi.progress_measure', percentage / 100);
if (percentage >= 100) {
this.scorm.SetValue('cmi.completion_status', 'completed');
}
this.scorm.Commit('');
}
trackScore(score) {
this.scorm.SetValue('cmi.score.scaled', score / 100);
this.scorm.SetValue('cmi.success_status', score >= 70 ? 'passed' : 'failed');
this.scorm.Commit('');
}
terminate() {
this.scorm.Terminate('');
}
}
// Usage
const wrapper = new ImmersiveScormWrapper(immersiveContent);
wrapper.initialize();
immersiveContent.on('progress', (pct) => wrapper.trackProgress(pct));
immersiveContent.on('assessment-complete', (score) => wrapper.trackScore(score));
```
### xAPI (Experience API) Integration
```typescript
import { ImmersiveMedia } from '@wia/immersive-media';
import TinCan from 'tincanjs';
class ImmersiveXAPITracker {
constructor(immersiveMedia, lrsEndpoint, auth) {
this.im = immersiveMedia;
this.lrs = new TinCan.LRS({ endpoint: lrsEndpoint, auth });
}
sendStatement(verb, object, result = null) {
const statement = {
actor: { mbox: 'mailto:student@example.com', name: 'Student' },
verb: { id: `http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/${verb}` },
object: {
id: `https://example.com/activities/${object}`,
definition: { type: 'http://adlnet.gov/expapi/activities/lesson' }
}
};
if (result) statement.result = result;
this.lrs.saveStatement(new TinCan.Statement(statement));
}
trackInteraction(targetId, value) {
this.sendStatement('interacted', targetId, {
response: value,
completion: true
});
}
trackCompletion(lessonId, score) {
this.sendStatement('completed', lessonId, {
score: { scaled: score / 100 },
completion: true,
success: score >= 70
});
}
}
```

## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue: Low frame rate in VR**
- Solution: Reduce polygon count, disable shadows, lower texture resolution
- Check: GPU profiler for bottlenecks
**Issue: 360° video not displaying correctly**
- Solution: Verify projection type matches source, check metadata
- Check: Video codec compatibility
**Issue: Spatial audio not working**
- Solution: Enable microphone permissions, check audio format (ambisonic)
- Check: Browser/headset audio capabilities
**Issue: Models not loading**
- Solution: Verify file paths, check CORS headers, validate glTF format
- Check: Network tab for 404/CORS errors
## Best Practices
1. **Start Simple:** Begin with basic 360° video before complex 3D interactions
2. **Test Early:** Test on target devices throughout development
3. **Optimize Always:** Prioritize performance over visual fidelity
4. **Accessibility First:** Build accessibility in from the start
5. **Measure Impact:** Track learning outcomes, not just engagement
6. **Iterate Based on Data:** Use analytics to guide improvements
7. **Document Everything:** Maintain clear documentation for future updates
