Case Study: The University of North Carolina improves campus visits and student engagement with Fingent's GearUp VR app

The University of North Carolina connects 16 campuses with Fingent’s GearUp VR app

The University of North Carolina faced the challenge of increasing student enrollment, particularly from underprivileged areas, by overcoming the barriers of costly and time-consuming campus visits. They partnered with the vendor Fingent to develop a mobile application solution that would educate prospective students on available courses and facilities.

Fingent developed the GearUp VR mobile app, which utilized 360-degree virtual reality video to provide immersive virtual tours of the university's 16 campuses. This solution eliminated the need for physical visits, leading to cost-effective campus tours, enhanced student engagement, and an overall improvement in student enrollment for the university.
