Project context

We intend to begin an exciting journey to reimagine campus

navigation and engagement. The project's goal is to build an immersive

and interactive 3D map of the Universidad De Manila campus in order to

improve the overall university experience. The main purpose is to provide

newcomers, students, faculty members, and visitors with an easy-to-use

tool that not only provides accurate navigation but also provides a visually

appealing tour of the campus's numerous facilities, landmarks, and

resources. The concept aims to develop a stronger sense of belonging and

connection to the campus environment while optimizing efficiency in

navigating the large university grounds by seamlessly combining

technology with a user-friendly design. Through this endeavor, the team

endeavors to revolutionize the way individuals interact with their

academic surroundings, promoting a dynamic and engaging journey

within the university’s vibrant ecosystem.

Our project is motivated by a set of strategic goals that work

together to offer an innovative and practical solution. To begin, the project

intends to create a thorough 2D and 3D map of the Universidad De Manila

campus. Buildings, walkways, and landmarks are intricately detailed. This

map will be user-friendly and available across several platforms, ensuring

extensive use by newcomers, students, professors, and visitors.

Furthermore, the initiative aims to incorporate interactive components

such as points of interest and supplemental information, promoting deeper

involvement with the campus environment. One critical goal is to improve

orientation for newcomers and streamline for regular users, reducing

confusion and optimizing time management. The project hopes to

modernize campus mapping technologies and set a new benchmark for

smooth, compelling, and efficient navigation inside the Universidad De

Manila campus by attaining these numerous goals.

The scope includes the creation of an easy-to-use user interface

that allows for smooth navigation and interaction with the map across

numerous platforms such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Testing, fine-

tuning, usability, and dependability. The final scope also involves the

development of user manuals and support systems to help users get the

most out of the interactive map. In essence, the project's scope includes

the entire lifecycle of developing a technologically advanced, visually

appealing, user-centered interactive campus map for Universidad De

Manila.
 Our project is organized around many key milestones that will

influence its progress and completion. The first phase entails extensive

study and data collection, which includes mapping out the campus's

physical qualities, architectural quirks, and landmarks. This is followed by

the critical step of 3D modeling, in which the campus layout is precisely

replicated in a digital environment. As a result, the incorporation of

interactive components such as GPS-based navigation and information

annotations represents an important turning point. Extensive testing and

refinement ensure accuracy, responsiveness, and seamlessness, setting the

way for user trials and feedback collecting, all of which contribute to

future improvements. The last milestones include the compilation of

support documentation, the deployment of a user-friendly interface that is

accessible across devices, and the ultimate launch of the interactive map.

Each milestone achieved signifies a step closer to realizing the project’s

vision: a captivating, comprehensive, and cutting-edge map that

transforms the campus navigation experience at Universidad De Manila.

Even though it takes an innovative and engaging approach to

campus navigation and exploration. While the initiative has enormous

potential to improve the user experience for students, professors, and

visitors, it also has significant risks and resource considerations. The

creation of a 3D interactive map necessitates the collaboration of a skilled

team of programmers, graphic designers, and UI/UX professionals, which

may pose problems in terms of skill acquisition and teamwork.

Furthermore, ensuring the map's accuracy and real-time updates

necessitates a consistent data input process, which may strain existing

administrative resources. The possibility of technological faults and

maintenance requirements emphasizes the importance of a dedicated

support system. However, the rewards are promising – a captivating and

user-friendly virtual campus tour that can significantly ease navigation,

showcase the institution’s technological prowess, and foster a strong sense

of belonging within the Universidad De Manila community.

Purposes and Description

The campus mapping is a solution to represent the university to

newcomers, students, visitors, parents, and professors informs volumes

about your university's technological and aesthetic capability. A 3D map

provides a realistic view of a location that can be utilized by students or

faculty. A 3D map is as useful as a blueprint is. It is very easy to visualize

floor plans on a 3D map and identify information and guide to the users

that provides a much more intuitive navigation experience with highly

detailed visualizations. Helping college freshmen feel at home prior to

arrival because when it comes to culture shock, the struggle is real for

freshmen students.

Universidad de Manila is one of the public college schools in

Manila. Therefore, the majority of residents of Manila choose to study in

UDM because of tuition fee is free, so that is the reason why many

students enrolled in the university. Hence, the proponents want to make a

system to guide the freshmen students inside the campus. Thus, the

proponents will deliberate the layout of the system.

If you open the system the three buttons display it, the object consists

menu (start, about, exit).

Three buttons in Menu:

 Start- This is the button where you can begin to explore the

campus map.

 About- This button tells you who is the developer and the objective

of the system. It also has the Terms and Conditions.

 Exit- This button is if you want to exit the application.

In case you click the start button, you can see on the interactive

campus map is the search bar that you can explore the location that you

are looking for including the departments, classrooms, administrative

offices, library, and other buildings inside the campus. Also, you can see

the three lines on the upper left button, including the first floor, second

floor, third and fourth floor and the other building. If you want to know

the details of every building you can click the landmark then, it can be

shown to you the information on the right side.

The interactive map is a noble tool to help freshmen students

familiarize themselves with campus and learn about the Universidad de

Manila.

Problem Definition

1. Is it challenging for visitors and freshmen to navigate the campus

easily? Newcomers, such as visitors and freshmen, might not have

access to sufficient information about the campus. They may not be

familiar with the locations of various departments, classrooms,

administrative officers, library, recreational areas, and more.

2. What is the impact of the lack of information about the campus

facilities? The lack of information about campus facilities can lead to

missed opportunities for students and staff to engage in various

activities or take advantage of resources that could enhance their

learning or work experience.

3. What are the consequences of having insufficient points of interest

in Universidad De Manila? It highlights emergency response

facilities and evacuation routes, potentially endangering campus safety

during critical situations.

Objectives of the study

The general objective is to develop an application software for

Universidad De Manila that will allow the students, visitors, faculty

members, employees, and especially the newcomer to identify their

current location inside the campus and direct them toward their chosen

destination. Specially aims:

 To highlight key information of landmarks, and facilities, and to

include facility descriptions and key information.

 To enhance the campus signage and directional aids to provide clear

guidance for visitors and freshmen, making it easier for them to

navigate the campus.

 To identify areas on the campus that lack sufficient points of interest

and assess their importance in terms of student needs, safety and

convenience.

Scope and limitations

 This interactive map will be designed to benefit students and

newcomers by allowing them to easily highlight key information

landmarks and facilities. The project will also focus on enhancing campus

signage and directional aids to provide clear guidance for visitors and

freshmen, thereby facilitating seamless navigation on campus.

Additionally, the interactive map will include detailed facility descriptions

and key information to enrich the user experience. It will also identify

areas on the campus that lack sufficient points of interest and assess their

importance in terms of student needs, safety, and convenience, leading to

potential improvements and optimizations.

Despite the fact that its interactive nature, it will come with

specific limitations. The major limitation is that both administrators and

students will only have view-only access, which implies they won't be

able to modify or add additional information to the map. This decision is

to ensure data accuracy and maintain consistency in the provided

information.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Technical Background

The “Captivating 3D Journey through Universidad De Manila’s

Interactive Campus Map” is a cutting-edge digital application designed to

provide an immersive and engaging experience for students, faculty

members, employees, visitors and newcomers.

The interactive campus map leverages advanced 3D modeling and

rendering techniques to create a realistic representation of the UDM

campus. Modern 3D modeling software like Unity3D and Sketch Up is

used to create detailed 3D models of buildings, rooms, landmarks,

pathways, and landscaping. These models are textured and optimized to

ensure smooth rendering and navigation within the application.

Review of Related Literature

“This study develops a 3D campus map for sustainable

development and infrastructure management at Universiti Pertahanan

Nasional Malaysia (UPNM). The reasoning behind the selection of the

study area is due to the data needed to produce a functional, informative

3-dimensional web-based map that holds the entire topography,

geographical and physical features, and information about UPNM.

People, especially visitors, have difficulty getting information about

UPNM. The explanation is that the UPNM map that holds information

about the campus is not available both on the internet and on the official

website of the UPNM. It will significantly help raise knowledge of UPNM

among students and staff by classifying campus areas into other regions.

It will also make zoning campus areas easier for future planning and

growth, maintenance, and restoration.”

 “One of the best benefits of 3D mapping is that it provides the

latest technical methods for visualization and gathering information.

Knowledge visualization and science mapping become easier when a 3D

map is available for the object/area under study. A 3D map provides a

realistic view of a location that can be utilized by local authorities and

planners. For the construction sector, a 3D map is as useful as a blueprint

is. It is very easy to visualize floor plans on a 3D map and identify

possible obstructions which may occur during construction.”

“By using the proposed system, students that are not able to visit

the school campus in-person before admission will have a way to take a

look in their prospective schools. This will help them get to know the

school campus by having an interactive map that contains the different

areas on the school campus, with additional information, videos and even

photographs about each location. This system would bring the school

campus to the students with just a few clicks. Unlike the manual way of

campus tours, adapting virtual tours would lessen the hassle of both, the

students and the school personnel.”

Research Design and Methodology

Research design

The methods and designs that were used to build the system are

discussed in this chapter. The "Waterfall model" was proposed, which

entails splitting the project into phases and places an emphasis on ongoing
collaboration and improvement. This approach will fully take advantage of

how the application will continue to change as testing and development

proceed.

The software development process is divided into distinct phases

using the Waterfall Model, a linear and sequential methodology. There is a

cascading "waterfall" effect because each phase must be finished before

moving on to the next. The model follows a structured approach to

software development, where requirements are gathered and analyzed

upfront, followed by design, implementation, testing, deployment, and

maintenance. The major aspect of the Waterfall Model is its rigorous

adherence to the predetermined sequence of phases, making it well-suited

for projects with steady and well-defined needs.

 Figure 1. Waterfall Model

Phase 1: Requirements Gathering and Analysis

In this phase, we identified and gathered all the necessary requirements for

our interactive campus map. This includes understanding the features,

functionalities, and user expectations.

1. Requirement elicitation: We were able to meet with the

stakeholders from Universidad De Manila (UDM) and potential

users to understand their needs and expectations for the interactive

 campus map. Gathered requirements for features, user interface,

3D elements, navigation, and user interactions.

2. Requirement Analysis: The proponents organized and

documented the gathered requirements. Defined the scope of our

project, including what features will be included, what will be

excluded, and what constitutes success for this project.

3. System Design: Based on the requirements, the proponents created

a functional system design that outlines the architecture,

components, and technologies that will be used. Determine the

technical feasibility of incorporating 3D elements and interactivity.

Phase 2: System Design

During this phase, the proponents created a detailed design of the

interactive campus map based on the requirements gathered in the

previous phase.

1. User Interface Design: The proponents created wireframes and

mockups of the user interface for the interactive map. This

includes designing the 3D representation of the campus, navigation

controls, information pop-ups, and any interactive elements.

2. System Architecture Design: The proponents developed a

detailed technical architecture that outlines how different

 components of the system will interact. The proponents used C# as

the programming language, and UNITY, Google SketchUp as our

tools used for development.

Phase 3: Implementation

This is the phase where the actual coding and development of the

interactive campus map takes place.

1. Back-end Development: The proponents developed the user

interface according to the design specifications. Implement the 3D

rendering, interactive features, and navigation controls using

appropriate libraries or frameworks.

Phase 4: Testing

Thorough testing ensures that our interactive campus map functions as

expected.

1. Unit Testing: We've tested individual components, functions, and

modules to ensure they work correctly.

2. Integration Testing: The proponents verified that different

components of the system work harmoniously when integrated.

 3. User Acceptance Testing (UAT): The proponents collaborated

with UDM stakeholders and potential users to conduct UAT.

Validated that the map meets their requirements and expectations.

Phase 5: Deployment

In this phase after successful testing, the interactive campus map is ready

for deployment.

1. Deployment: The proponents deployed the interactive map to a

server or hosting such as smartphones, and tablets accessible to

users.

2. User Training: The proponents provided a user manual or

documentation on how to use the interactive map effectively.

Phase 6: Maintenance and Support

The final phase involves maintaining and supporting the deployed

interactive map.

1. Maintenance: To maintain the system, the admin of the system of

the main programmer needs to address any bugs, issues, or

improvements that arise post-deployment.

 2. Support: The admin needs to provide ongoing user support and

updates as needed to ensure the map remains relevant and

functional.

Data Gathering Techniques

We approached our professor with a formal request to help us

gather data at UDM. Face-to-face interviews were the method we used

since they allowed us to connect directly with participants and delve into

the depth of their feedback. We used our mobile devices to capture crucial

components of the interviews, including pictures as well as audio

recordings, to ensure accuracy and comprehensive documentation. This

multidimensional strategy enabled us to collect an array of diverse data,

which we feel will considerably improve the quality and depth of our

project.

We began the development part of our project by utilizing the

extensive information obtained through our face-to-face interviews and

rigorous documentation. In response to our participants' feedback, we

planned and built the system to be as near to their input as possible. We

concentrated on creating a 2D map view of the system using the C#

programming language within the UNITY framework, augmented with a

variety of extra functions. Concurrently, we used Google Sketchup to

create a visually appealing 3D map view of the system. This holistic

approach to development offers a dynamic and all-encompassing depiction

of our project, allowing us to meet the goals specified during our data

collection at UDM.
