It's not an app. It's an experience.

Arizona State University was founded in 1885. Every year, thousands of people around the world come to ASU and start their brand-new college life. One of the important parts is to get familiar with this campus by taking a campus tour.

Sadly, over the past 133 years, the way people take campus tour has never been changed at all. Although there's abundant information on the Internet, there's no interaction between browsing webpage to get information and walking through the campus, the buildings, and the facilities. Students need a convenient and interactive way to get to know and access all the resources on campus.

Introducing the Herberger Experience app, a new way to take a campus tour at ASU Herberger Institute of Design and the Arts with an Augmented Reality experience.

Our mission is to change the way we take the campus tour. Say goodbye to the typical campus tour. Immerse yourself in the friendly user interface with interactive AR and video experience, and find out your new path of study.

For the Augmented Reality development, we are using a powerful web AR framework, ar.js, and an open-source web VR framework, A-Frame.

When you are on campus, especially inside the buildings, you can see some "AR-code"s around you. They were taped to the wall. Most of them are in front of the rooms, next to the room number.

Because our program works on the web, you basically don't need to install anything on your device. Just scan the code and play with it. That's it.

For Apple iOS user (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch),

• If you are running iOS 11.0 or later, you can use the built-in Camera app to scan the QR code inside our "AR-code" markers. The camera app will direct you to visit the webpage where you are supposed to scan the marker.
• If you are running iOS 10.3.3 or below, you need to install a QR code scanner app or visit a QR code scanner website.

For Android/Windows Phone user, you need a QR code scanner app or a QR code scanner site as well.
