Inspiration"The last minute inspired us to start this project! After dropping three projects in two days and feeling down, an idea struck to one of the hacker at the stroke of midnight. With two people skilled in front-end and the one experienced in modeling, we thought, why not create a virtual campus tour website? And thus, our project was born. Out of necessity and a desire to make the most of our time, this project was created with a touch of humor and a lot of determination. We hope to make the college search process easier and more accessible for students everywhere."What it does"Our product does one simple thing, but does it with style! Students searching for a college campus tour can now explore their dream school from the comfort of their own home. Our platform provides a detailed, virtual tour of colleges and universities complete with real textures and 360-degree views. No need to travel long distances just to get a feel for a campus, our website brings the campus to you. So sit back, relax, and take a virtual stroll through your future school. It's like a college visit, without the hassle of actually leaving your house!"How we built it"Building this virtual campus tour website was a team effort! Our modeler started by creating a 3D model of a typical college lab, and rendered it in a file format that was compatible with our website. Meanwhile, our two talented programmers worked their magic to bring the model to life on the website, creating a user-friendly interface for students to explore. The result is a virtual tour experience like no other, complete with real textures and 360-degree views. It was a challenge, but we put our heads together and made it happen, making the college search process easier and more accessible for students everywhere!"Challenges we ran into"Building this virtual campus tour website was definitely a wild ride! We faced a few challenges along the way, including a 2-day period where we were completely clueless and dropped 3 project ideas. But, at the stroke of 12:00 on February 4th, inspiration struck and we got to work. Although the implementation may not be perfect, we're confident that it has huge potential for the future. We're proud of what we've accomplished and excited to see where this project will take us!"Accomplishments that we're proud of"We've accomplished a lot in our journey to create this virtual campus tour website! From turning a wild idea into a fully-functioning platform, to overcoming challenges and never losing our sense of humor, we're proud of it all. And let's not forget, we did it all in record time! We're proud of our ability to work together as a team and bring this project to life. We're excited to see the impact it will have on helping students make informed decisions about their future schools. Here's to many more accomplishments to come!"What we learned"Building this virtual campus tour website has been a learning experience like no other! We've learned the importance of teamwork, resilience, and never losing our sense of humor, even in the face of challenges. We've also learned the value of taking a chance on an idea and the power of collaboration to bring it to life. And let's not forget, we now know the ins and outs of creating a virtual tour platform! It's been an exciting journey, and we're eager to apply what we've learned to future projects. Here's to continued learning and growth!"What's next for CampusTour"What's next for our virtual campus tour website? The sky's the limit! We're excited to continue building on the success we've achieved so far and incorporating new features and improvements to make the user experience even better. We're also looking into adding virtual reality capabilities to take the campus tour experience to the next level. And who knows, maybe one day our website will be the go-to resource for all prospective students on their college search journey. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come!"Built With<ul><li>a-frame</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-green-text rich-link break-all link-break" href="https://devpost.com/software/built-with/blender">blender</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-green-text rich-link break-all link-break" href="https://devpost.com/software/built-with/html">html5</a></li></ul>
