LAUNCH THE BRYANT UNIVERSITY VIRTUAL TOUR & 3D MAP View new HTML5 virtual tours and photo-realistic 3D maps created by CampusTours CampusTours Project Details InteractiveVideo Technology Using CampusTours content-managed InteractiveVideo technology, Bryant's videos contain cue points or teasers that lend additional explanation to themes discussed in the videos. CampusTours' extensive student testing of college videos has revealed that a majority of prospective students tune out and close videos longer than three minutes in length. Breaking videos into shorter thematic chapters and then integrating InteractiveVideo cue points into the videos allows schools to add depth and granularity to their presentations, without burdening those that are not interested in particular topics. This approach to video allows viewers to self-select the content most interesting and pertinent to them, and, just as importantly, to allow content that is not to glide past unwatched.   Content managed virtual tours Short thematic virtual tours allow Bryant to develop presentations aimed at different prospective student constituencies or different aspects of the Bryant experience. These short videos give the institution flexibility in the future to add new tour sections devoted to particular programs, aspects of campus life, or even foreign-language speaking tours for students and parents whose primary language is not English. Finally, because all of the virtual tour videos include content-managed InteractiveVideo, Bryant may insert Interactive Teasers at any point in the future to give extra emphasis to any topic mentioned in the video.   Content managed interactive 3D map Bryant's tour features an interactive 3D campus map backed with the CampusTours MultiMedia Engine Custom Interactive Map System to allow Bryant to update and republish any aspect of the map or even change the base map artwork and interactive hotspots when the campus map artwork is updated. Content managed custom layers allow for highlighting of buildings/locations or the placement of icons, and the ability to hide layers allows schools to create customized 3D maps and email deep links to them to various campus constituencies.   Content managed introductory carousel The Bryant tour features an interactive tour carousel that is managed through the CampusTours MultiMedia Engine.   Deep Linking Deep linking to the tour or map in any state gives Bryant the capability to provide specific experiences to particular visitor groups.   Accessibility Tags Accessibility tags within the content management system allow for precise tagging of all tour graphical items and content.   Dynamic Branding Bar Gives Bryant freedom to change the tour branding in lockstep with institutional identity updates. New logos and taglines can be inserted at any time to keep the tour consistent with new branding initiatives.   Content Managed Calls To Action Allows Bryant to control persistent calls to action, the icons and text that represent them, the locations to which they link and the creation of new calls to action.   Independent Media Player The CampusTours Independent Media Player gives institutions like Bryant an opportunity to reuse their wealth of tour content outside the tour interface. Using the MultiMedia Engine content management system, Bryant can assemble and publish infinite numbers of unique collections of videos, photos, slideshows, musical performances and much more.   Burn To CD-ROM Burn to CD-ROM capability permits Bryant to burn the entire presentation to cross-platform CD-ROM or create a cross-platform ISO disk image for large runs of CDs.
