Virtual 3D Tour: A User Experience for On-Campus Orientation

Abstract

With Virtual Reality being adopted by almost all the world's social media giants, it is evident that it is the next best thing. Platforms like Facebook, Steam, and YouTube have worked on this technology to make their content creative and immersive for the user to experience the best. But unfortunately, the industries of Pakistan have still not explored or worked on this domain. Hence, I missed the chance to enjoy this sweet nectar of an opportunity introduced to the world for merely a decade. This paper introduces an immersive and three-dimensional Virtual Model of Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology. The previous work on similar projects was discussed; in the methodology, the models were created using different 3D computer graphics software and toolsets, the development phase was done by using Unity Engine to make the model dynamic in nature, and then it was finally deployed into HTC Vive and allowing of the user to interact with the environment and move in 3D space by using two handheld controllers.
