Is 3D Virtual Campus Tours right for you?
 

Virtual Tours

  • Self-Guided
    • A self-guided tour gives users the freedom to roam the campus at their own pace, discovering what the University has to offer.
  • Interactive
    • Interactive tours allow users to take an automated tour where they are free to stop and start at anytime. Prompts will help the user locate key aspects of the campus and will also ensure nothing is missed while still providing the user with the freedom to explore at their own pace.
  • Guided
    • Live admissions reps can give scheduled virtual guided tours of your campus, sharing all of the information that would normally be covered in an on ground tour. Tours can be with large or small groups.
    • Guided tours can take place in the virtual space while those on a self-guided tour are walking around, or in a duplicated area where there are no distractions from users who are not in the tour.
    • No more worrying about when a space is available or if you might be interrupting a class. You have total control of the time and access to the tours.
    • Guided tours can be signed up for with just the click of a button.

Fully Custom Features

  • Custom Interface
    • Designing user interfaces of virtual worlds is one of the most important features for users. The interface features need to be intuitive and easy to use. We provide fully customized branding, the use of features with the click of a button, easy camera controls including first to third person views, and more.
  • 3D Content Development
    • Each virtual college campus tour is developed to showcase a specific campus and the unique features it has to offer. Buildings, walkways, and terrain are all replicated to allow the user to experience the campus as they would in on on ground setting.
  • 3D Animations and Simulations
    • Custom animations and simulations allow each campus to truly shine. Personalized animations and simulations give each campus the opportunity to show students their most unique offerings. Examples include a beautiful fountain, an interactive laser lab, and a flight simulator. The possibilities are endless.

Interactivity and User Engagement

    • A customized point structure can be created to fit customized games and trivia.
    • Users can utilize points to purchase goods in a virtual store and customize their avatars with items as small as a pin to items as large as a wearable mascot uniform.
    • Achievements and rewards can be set based on individual games, areas visited, clues found, trivia answered, and more.
  • Kiosks
    • Kiosks placed around the campus can be used to allow users to quickly and easily fill out an application and other forms, make payments, purchase books, and more.
  • Non-playing Characters and Bots
    • Users can interact with non-playing characters or bots within the virtual world in order to learn more about the campus in an interactive and engaging fashion.
