With international students returning to Australia post-pandemic, Swinburne needed a way to share their world-class campus experience with anyone unable to physically attend open day. So we brought the campus to them through an immersive and in-depth virtual tour, sharing a 360-degree taste of student life.
Swinburne’s strength as a university lies in their notable facilities and campus community which are better experienced in person. With international students and agents unable to make Open Days, we needed to bring this experience to them instead.
Led by real student guides full of useful insider tips, we invited prospective students and agents to visit the campus via an innovative 360 tour. It was shot mid-term so that visitors could really experience student life (until they enrol that is!) with current students sharing their authentic experiences within each faculty. International students can really absorb the campus vibes and see what their day-to-day life would be like. This also helps agents understand and communicate the benefits of choosing Swinburne.
Each visitor chooses their own adventure from the start by customising their study interests. As they begin “walking” across campus, surrounded by fellow students, they are presented with multiple tour and navigational options that consist of interactive wayfinding, sound and video. Clickable information hubs within the tour gave explorers a chance to dive into different aspects of the campus from amenities to futuristic machinery. Each faculty tour also links directly to course material – keeping prospective international students engaged and informed as they navigate through campus.
The immersive 360 virtual tour positioned Swinburne as a future forward university that truly cares for their students' academic and developmental experiences in their journey into young adulthood.
