Abstract

IN THE SUMMER OF 1998, the Department of Computer Graphics began developing a Web-based informational and marketing resource for individuals interested in attending and visiting Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus. The result is an interactive campus map that provides information about the various campus buildings using text, photographs, and VR movie clips. It also provides the ability to search for specific buildings and locations and an on-line guided tour. The site allows the user to navigate the campus using a unique, vector-based graphical user interface. The completed interactive map, titledThe Purdue University Virtual Visit, became available in August of 1998 (http://www.tech.purdue.edu/resources/map/). This contribution will discuss the planning, development, and implementation of the site and the related technologies that were used.
