Bachelor Assignment

In recent years, universities worldwide have been increasingly focused on improving campus management and sustainability by using advanced technologies and data analytics. By structuring their data, universities aim to reduce unnecessary energy losses from campus buildings, infrastructure, and amenities by using this data for practical decision-making. The current more commonly used methods of data structuring, such as spreadsheets and static charts, often fall short in visualising the multi-dimensional and ever-changing data used for campus operations. A 3D interactive interface offers a powerful solution and will enable the stakeholders to explore this data in a spatial context that closely resembles the real-world environment. Hence, this internally conducted bachelor thesis is centred around developing a 3D interactive interface design for the University of Twente campus. The final results being a concept summarized through flow diagram and prototype developed in Unreal Engine 5.
