Challenge: Improve In-Person & Virtual Campus Tour Engagement

As a leading university for architecture and built environment, together Fulcrum Digital saw an opportunity to showcase both the future of the architecture industry, as well as set the university apart from other traditional open days using a new technology back in 2016, when new applications for AR beyond gaming were only just emerging.

Virtual Campus Map Solution

Fulcrum designed and developed a fully functional AR web app for smartphones that would help students navigate their campus and show what’s going on real-time inside buildings they pass on open days.

The web app integrated into a campus timetabling system to update real-time with activities happening across the university.
