Emerging Scholars from COMD Futures, Emerging Media Technologies, and Architecture collaborated with Membit Inc. over the last few semesters to research, design, and develop City Tech’s Fun Facts Finder, an augmented reality campus tour.
This virtual tour uses the augmented reality application Membit to help new students locate important locations and services on campus, meet community members, and share fun facts about City Tech.
You’re invited to take a study break and join peers for an ICE CREAM SOCIAL this Thursday, 5/15. There, you can take part in a scavenger hunt around campus using the student-created Fun Facts Finder AR app, discover what the college has to offer to make your life and studies easier, vote for your favorite neighborhood eats, and learn more about the exciting initiatives from the Smart Campus Design Studio.
WHEN & WHERE: This Thursday, 5/15/25, 12:30 – 2 pm, NAMM Lobby 1st floor outside the Welcome Center/Help desk
