Designing Digitally Develops Virtual Campus for USAF Academy

Designing Digitally, Inc., a full-service interactive design company and virtual world developer, was recently awarded a long-term contract with the United States Air Force Academy to completely develop, host and maintain a browser based virtual campus tour. This virtual campus allows the academy to reach interested high school students regardless of their geographic location.

“We’re excited about this opportunity to partner with the United States Air Force Academy to help them creatively teach prospective students what the academy can offer them,” says Andrew Hughes, president of Designing Digitally, Inc.

Within the virtual world, students can walk freely through the campus, sign up for scheduled events and tours or play games to learn more about the academy. Along the way, admissions representatives are available to answer any questions, so students can make the most of their tour.

Understanding that even in the Air Force, there’s room for fun and games, Designing Digitally, Inc. included eight games in the virtual world design and many other interactive features to make the tour engaging and informative. Features include:

 
  • Basketball, football, ice hockey, tennis, track and field, parachute jumping, weight lifting and flight simulator games
  • Clues scattered throughout the campus to teach students facts about the Air Force Academy
  • Trivia questions, answered with the help of the clues around campus
  • Chat capabilities
  • Avatar customization, and much more
