Oxford University’s First Virtual Reality Tour
On the quest to innovate its development fundraising campaign, University College partnered with the Oxford X-Reality Hub to create a mobile virtual reality app which allows audiences to experience the College while creating a window into the near-future with a look at developments in North Oxford.
Even before COVID-19, distance has long presented a challenge to fundraising for any university. Physically visiting is not always accessible, and therefore limiting alumni engagement, university recruitment, and donor relations. Today, with in-person meetings presenting their own challenges and risks, finding a way to recreate the experience of touring Oxford from afar is vital.
My role as the Technology Lead of the Oxford X-Reality Hub was to co-lead the development of the mobile VR app.(Google Cardboard) As well as the capture of high quality HDR images of the site.
