Problem

Carnegie Mellon’s current student campus tour model has limitations caused by the reliance on the tour guide system. There is a range of information student tour guides provide based on their own perspective and experiences at school, which creates inconsistency. Moreover, these tours don't utilize one of CMU's best assets, alumni, to attract new students.

Solution
Concept

An AR experience that allows visitors to choose their own path and learn about Carnegie Mellon through an alumni of their choosing.
