What the demo shows
A virtual campus tour. Visitors arrive in a custom 3D lobby, then move through interactive replicas of key facilities such as auditoriums, libraries and lecture halls. An AI avatar guides them and answers questions in real time.
Who it is for
Admissions and international recruitment teams at universities and colleges who want to reach students in other countries, run open days across time zones and cut the cost of physical campus tours.
How it works
3D campus spaces
- A branded 3D lobby to start the tour
- Replicas of real facilities, designed to reflect the institution’s architecture
- Multiple rooms that set the order of the tour
AI guides and personal content
AI avatars lead visitors round and answer questions. Content and navigation adjust to each visitor’s preferences and what they have already looked at.
Talking to the university
- Custom registration forms for prospective students
- Live text, audio and video chat with university representatives

- Virtual booths with brochures and videos for departments, programmes or sponsors, for group or one-to-one conversations
- Attendee groups, and follow-up through social media after the event
Reporting
Live statistics on engagement, webinar views and booth visits, plus detailed reports after each event, show what worked and where to improve.
Where it is used
- Year-round campus tours for applicants
- Virtual open days with department visits, webinars and Q&A sessions with faculty and students
- Large recruitment events and education fairs
Industry example: University of Sydney
The University of Sydney ran a virtual education fair on the ibentos platform to reach students worldwide without travel. It used 3D environments modelled on its campus, webinars, live Q&A, text, audio and video chat, and real-time analytics. The university reported broader access for students, lower travel and accommodation costs, higher engagement and analytics that helped refine its recruitment approach.

Frequently asked questions
What is a virtual university tour in 3D?
A virtual university tour lets prospective students walk through a 3D replica of a campus without travelling.

Who uses virtual campus tours and virtual open days?
Virtual campus tours and open days are built for admissions and international recruitment teams at universities and colleges.

Attendee groups and social media follow-up continue the conversation after the event.
What reporting does a virtual university open day provide?
