The Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) on Tuesday issued the letter of acceptance using Augmented Reality (AR) technology to students. This is the first AR-enabled university admission notice in China.
Located in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, NPU embedded a virtual campus platform based on AR technology, a technique that calculates the position and angle of camera view in real time, whilst adding images, videos and 3D models. AR seamlessly integrates the physical and virtual worlds.
