Michael commented: &#8216;Considering that in January 2014, Jennison Virtual Reality Tour was nothing more than an empty folder on my laptop, it was amazing to see the final outcome produced by April.  &#8216;The final product was a complete virtual reality game, of the ground floor of the Jennison building, incorporated with 3D goggles called Oculus Rift.  &#8216;A lot of effort and dedication was invested in this project, therefore I was proud to demonstrate it during a job interview I had with a very successful software development company. Due to the innovative nature of the application the managers were so impressed that I was hired on the spot!&#8217;  In addition, the project will be used by the School of Engineering and Digital Arts to support open days for prospective students.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Reichel, from the School of Engineering and Digital Arts, developed a 3D virtual world based on the ground floor of Jennison.
