Campus
Virtech
A shared virtual campus for ArtCenter and CalTech students.
Project Brief
In collaboration with CalTech, my team and I used the online game platform Second Life to concept, design, and build a shared virtual campus. We learned the history of higher education and the collegiate campus, conducted online interviews, and use 3d modeling tools to launch the work within Second Life.

Problem statement
The college campus represents so much more than an arrangement of land and buildings. As courses continue to move online, how can we support our community beyond the classroom? What aspects of a student's college experience are now missing now that we are all at home?
