About the 3D Digital Twin Campus of TU Darmstadt


The early stage of the 3D Campus project, dubbed Magical AdvenTUre, involved setting up a rally that motivates players to explore the campus and learn about different key locations.
In early 2023, High Vision utilized drone technology to meticulously capture the Lichtwiese campus in high resolution. Incorporating a segment of this data into the 3D Campus project is a forthcoming endeavor.

Our Vision

At the core of Darmstadt is TU Darmstadt, a recognized institution for innovation, culture, and academic excellence. Observing the growing trend of digital interactions and the need for accessibility for our prospective students, we initiated a project to digitally recreate our campus. The 3D Digital Twin Campus aims to provide a close-to-real experience of our expansive landscape, connecting the virtual and the real.

Why a Digital Twin?

Choosing a university is a pivotal decision, influenced by not only the academic offerings but also the campus environment. While not everyone can visit in person, a preliminary virtual exploration could be beneficial. Our Digital Twin provides:

  • Realism: A well-crafted 3D representation reflecting TU Darmstadt's architecture and landscape.
  • Accessibility: The ability to explore the campus at any time, from anywhere.
  • Informed Decisions: An opportunity to delve into each facility, hall, and recreational spot, aiding in envisioning your academic journey here.

Behind the Scenes

This project was a testament to the power of collaboration. We, AG Serious Games, joined hands with the visionary teams at optify! and High Vision to bring the TU Darmstadt campus to life in the digital realm. Our collective efforts aimed to create a platform that mirrors the authenticity and spirit of TU Darmstadt. Our united goal was to make the university's vast expanse virtually accessible, and thanks to the expertise and dedication of all teams involved, we believe we've achieved just that.
