Classrooms using ThingLink image and video editors to create interactive digital content can now tap search filters on platform.

In a blog post, the company said the new feature helps users sort through more than 6,500,000 images, videos and 360-degree content available on the platform. “Now, not only can you search our database of images, videos and 360s, you can also filter your results to find exactly what you're looking for,” the post states.

ThingLink’s editors allow users to annotate and tag content to represent data and information in an engaging way. Users can build visual and immersive learning experiences in the form of interactive images and videos, virtual reality (VR) field trips, audio tours, 360-degree stories and more. The platform works on all modern web browsers, iPad, iPhone and Android.

More than 2 million teachers and students worldwide are using ThingLink in the classroom, according to the Finnish-American company. ThingLink will be presenting at the Maine Department of Education's upcoming VR expo for educators.
