SSUGT is developing a virtual tour of the university in Unreal Engine

The Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies is working on creating an interactive 3D model of the university in virtual reality. The project is being developed in the Prototyping Research Laboratory under the supervision of Nikita Sergeevich Golovachev, an engineer at the Department of Applied Informatics.

A demo version of the project has been completed, including the main building of the university and detailed models of classrooms. The system is currently being actively refined: a laboratory building, passages between buildings, dormitories, and university infrastructure are being added.

A Pico 4 helmet with wireless image transmission via Wi-Fi is used to immerse yourself in the virtual tour, allowing you to move freely around the campus without wires.

The project has already been successfully presented at the exhibitions «GEO-Siberia 2024» and «Technoprom 2024», where it received positive reviews. A modular system is currently being developed that will allow students to independently add new objects to the virtual space.

In the future, the development may become part of a single digital platform of SSUGT, combining virtual tours, training modules and other interactive elements of the educational environment.
