About

Exploring IUPUI is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between students from the Media Arts and Science program in the School of Informatics and Computing and the Department of History in the School of Liberal Arts.

Exploring IUPUI uses 3D modeling and Web technology to facilitate place making by encouraging users to explore the legacy and heritage of the IUPUI campus through a virtual space (exterior only). By navigating through the landscape via a Web browser or VR device, users can stroll through the campus geographically and temporally to interact with various sources, including images, videos, audio, and text, to better understand the history of the University while examining what the campus offers today. This augmented interactive experience is fun, engaging, and edifying. The goal is to better communicate what IUPUI is and how it has evolved since its establishment in 1969.
