3. Spark interest in the campus

4. The term virtual is a concept applied in many fields with
somewhat differing connotations, and also, differing
denotations.
The term has been defined in philosophy as "that which is not
real" but may display the salient qualities of the real.
Colloquially, 'virtual' is used to mean almost, particularly when
used in the adverbial form
To 3D virtual Campus Tours it means a fully 3d Immersive
world that runs in a web browser that allows your admin reps
to talk to a potential student through voice via avatars.
To conventional virtual campus tours it means a website….
5. Student will want to explore 3D models such as this will Students need to feel

or video

current virtual campus tours

10. The immersive 3D world and
line-of-sight interactivity of the
virtual tour creates a sense of
engagement, in real-time,
drawing the viewer into the
event, transforming them into a
participant.
Such a conversion of
perspective from spectator to
participant is simply not available
in traditional photographic or
video campus travelogues, which
are passive in nature

Editor's Notes
Spark interest from the video game generations entering collegeAllow for a personal connection via distance for the admissions rep and the potential student
Your line “they do this with maps in Call of Duty right now” is that what your showing in the image? I don’t really understand the relevance. If your just wanting to point out that the do that with videos games I think you should say that, rather than naming a specific game.Change it to just video games

My note is still on this one: if your going to talk about simplicity I don't think avatar appearance is a highlight of that.
