A Framework for Development of a Virtual Campus Tour

This paper discusses a framework for development of a virtual tour of a campus of an institute of higher education. The aim is to implement a sense of simulating realism using virtual reality (VR) and high textured three-dimensional (3D) modelling into creating a virtual tour of a campus. This framework is developed with the aim to provide the prospective and current students and other stakeholders a virtual experience of the entire campus, its infrastructure and all the facilities that it has to offer. It allows the users to navigate through the campus and can read brief information about the major hotspots within the campus. The virtual tour can be used to spread awareness and help stakeholders to get a brief overview of the campus without having to step into campus physically.
