What's the difference between Stornaway and other tools?
Most tools let you put buttons on a video to embed on a website. But interactive immersive media is much more than just putting a button on a video. It’s a whole new way of thinking about modern content and audiences, by joining up media clips into viewer journeys and experiences – in video, 360 video, stills, audio, VR – for every platform.
From feature films and immersive theatre to demos and tours, from recruitment and training to challenges and behaviour change campaigns – the uses of interactive media stories are exploding every day!
Stornaway.io is a creative-focused production tool for all kinds of interactive video stories and journeys in every sector. We’re proud to be a part of a rich ecosystem of tools.
There are lots of platforms to choose from – and each has a slightly different offering. So for 2023, we’ve took a dive into 23 top options – along with information on their key features, who they’re best for and (where possible) pricing – and Interactive Video for beginners – a helpful unranked guide to 23 platforms and software tools for 2023.
We hope that whatever you’re trying to do, you use Stornaway.io – do let us know how you get on. Have a look at some of our examples and case studies via the links below to see what’s possible.

Our plans >How can I make learning / training videos with Stornaway?
Using Stornaway for Learning/Training videos
Stornaway is being used by companies like Johnson & Johnson, Diageo, Virgin Media (as well as 12000+ SME’s) for interactive and immersive training courses integrated with their LMS platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, Absorb, etc.
They’re adding Stornaway to their regular LMS offering because they need to personalise and gamify video experiences to keep trainees more immersed and engaged than passive video. Making active choices in real time in video keeps their brains switched on, boosts their learning retention – and is more enjoyable.
Our customers’ own content teams use the software to make all their own interactive content – which otherwise they would not have skills, time or budget to make. It has been specifically designed to be picked up in minutes by anyone who can make video.
For training, our specially designed player can be embedded on any LMS and we have an API for further integrations with your database.
You can use regular video, 360 video and stills – and also uniquely you can easily publish your experience to any other platform (with just a couple of clicks) – to VR, mobile app.
