Pathify, Concept3D Partner to Build Virtual University Tours

Tech companies Pathify and Concept3D are partnering to offer 3D mapping services for colleges and universities to create virtual campus tours for prospective students, an announcement last week said.

According to a news release, Pathify’s platform will put campus locations in a navigable digital format with the use of data visualization, Internet of Things, wayfinding, virtual reality and real-time data feed integration, while Concept3D’s software features interactive media, virtual reality, 3D modeling and maps to help students, faculty and parents find their way around campuses.

“We are truly excited to partner with Pathify and continue to expand our impact on the student experience,” said Carlos Perez, chief revenue officer at Concept3D. “Concept3D is focused on delivering location-driven virtual experiences that improve campus communications, recruitment, and navigation. By partnering with Pathify, we will extend our interactive maps and virtual tours to even broader audiences and further support our mutual higher education customers.”

According to the announcement, the new 3D mapping service will enable interactive 360-degree campus tours.

“Together, Concept3D and Pathify provide any institution with a unique and engaging prospect experience designed for the ever more hybrid world we live in. We’re incredibly excited to formally partner and recommend Concept3D to the higher ed market,” Chase Williams, CEO of Pathify, said in a public statement.
