 CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH THE FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE View more virtual tours and campus maps created by CampusTours Fort Hays State University worked with CampusTours' talented designers to craft a presentation that evokes the FHSU signature style. Powered by the CampusTours MultiMedia Engine content management system, FHSU can make changes to the tour and map in seconds, and have those changes manifest in both desktop and mobile versions of the tour instantly. Arranged around the main video windows throughout the tour are small heads of students, faculty and staff. Clicking any of these people plays a video commentary about the video topic the visitor is currently watching. Commentary allows prospective students and parents to learn how current students experience aspects of campus life, and hear personal stories and vignettes about topics of interest. The FHSU tour contains more than 400 individual commentary videos! The Fort Hays State University Tour uses CampusTours' content-managed InteractiveVideo technology allowing users to explore the important themes discussed in the videos. Breaking videos into shorter thematic chapters and then integrating InteractiveVideo cue points into the videos allows organizations to add depth and granularity to their presentations. According to a recent study, more than 50% of college bound students access .edu sites on mobile devices, and the study underscores the importance of an HTML/JavaScript experience over an "app"-based experience for prospective students. With prospective students and parents accessing the fhsu.edu Web site on their mobile devices, it was important for the Fort Hays State University to work on a wide variety of mobile devices. The CampusTours HTML/JavaScript Mobile Module seamlessly redirects iOS and Android devices to an HTML/JavaScript version of the tour experience with all of the same videos and content that is optimized for mobile devices. The HTML/JavaScript Module also provides GPS (Global Positioning System) integration for mobile devices that contain a GPS unit, allowing visitors who are on campus to obtain information on buildings as they traverse campus. The AnyTour system implemented by the Fort Hays State University includes a full interactive map module that contains the current FHSU campus map. Using the content management system, Fort Hays State University can update the map in the system whenever there are changes to the base map artwork, and can publish a new map with updated hotspots, videos, text and photos instantly. The the Fort Hays State University Virtual Experience is based around a robust content management system that allows instantaneous updating of any aspect of presentation content, and controls the look and behavior of many tour attributes. Every single visitor session is tracked and preserved in the CampusTours StatFrame Traffic Tracking System, allowing for both aggregate and granular traffic analysis.  |
