They can virtually experience many hot spots on campus in 360-degree: such as Engineering Plaza, Business Court, Fountain Plaza, MSC Square, University Dorm Districts, Panther Stadium, etc. More spot data will be created and upload to the server and available to users. The app shows all the markers of hotspots on the campus map, and the user clicks a marker to view that location in 3D 360-degree. It also allows users to search for and list spots in a table view, and then click to view. Each hot spot is tagged as one of these: teaching, research, Students, Campus, Sports, Events, or Others. New 3D 360-degree spot data will be continuously added to the system, such as research labs, classrooms, new buildings, gathering, recruiting events, career fairs, and so on.
