Campus Compass

Campus Compass helps prospective students turn a campus visit into a small trial of everyday college life. Choose a college, enter a prospective major and interests, set your available time, and choose your current location or a nearby landmark. The app suggests a starting point and an itinerary that balances those interests against estimated travel time. At each stop, try a short activity, ask a campus question, save an observation or keep a question for a student or adviser. Replan when time changes without losing visited or skipped stops. Finish with a recap and compare your own impressions across colleges. The directory contains 5,877 U.S. institutions. Fifty-two campuses, including Virginia Tech, have mapped guides with 160 landmark reference points. Other colleges offer self-guided activities and official visitor information. The app supports a browser walkthrough and an Android build with experimental Meta glasses integration. Hackathon contributions include personalized routes, adaptive visit state, Meta model integration, nationwide campus search, expanded landmark coverage and improved tour narration, built on an earlier campus-guide shell. The demo shows the working browser journey. Live Muse and physical glasses operation remain unverified; route times are estimates and visitor access requires checking.
