| Title: | Maventure VR |
| Abstract: | Maventure VR is an immersive virtual reality game to recruit prospective engineering students and provide an introduction and welcome activity for incoming students to The University of Texas at Arlington. This would allow distant prospective students to have a fun adventure on the UTA campus even before they can visit in person saving fuel and resources that would be required for in-person travel. Maventure VR also provides incoming students with a welcoming and social event through a team quest-structured VR experience for students who are not able to participate in the on-campus Maventure activity prior to their starting semester. The use of virtual reality in game play set in a real world location is not new in and of itself. However, the development of a VR game would be a test case for a game design style capstone potentially envisioned in a game design program in collaboration with COLA. The specific development of Maventure VR could also be an innovative use of gaming in university recruiting and in community building: Explore engineering on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington in this immersive campus simulator while collecting unique UTA artifacts and experiences on your quest. |
