UCSF Virtual Campus Tours: Take a Look Behind the Scenes

UCSF Aerial View

UC IT Blog June 22, 2022 All Articles Tours , UC San Francisco , UCSF , Virtual Reality

By Stephanie Yee . As at many campuses across the country, a keen interest in virtual tours skyrocketed at UCSF when the COVID-19 pandemic did not appear to show any signs of waning after several months. But with such a large institution—UCSF has several locations across the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland and Fresno—how would a project team approach such an undertaking? 

Starting off: From Inquiry to Conceptualization

In response to a growing number of inquiries from different departments across UCSF, the Office of Communications decided it was about time for UCSF to have virtual tours available on demand!

Given the many constituents involved, the project lead conducted a UCSF wide survey to first understand and establish the project’s scope and scale. Based on the responses, a steering committee was formed to shape the virtual tours not only to orient soon-to-be arriving students, fellows, faculty members, and employees for both campus and health, but also to attract prospective affiliates and keep alumni informed about their alma mater. 

A kickoff meeting brought the steering committee members together to review and discuss the project background; internal survey results; external user needs; project goals and limitations; competitive examples; and project timeline and workflow.

Through a series of meetings over roughly two months, the project team and steering committee decided upon the following:

  • Chosen Tour Platform : After some deliberation, the team decided to use 3DVista, since this desktop software is top-of-class for both professionalism and flexibility. (And with all the current and future constructions plans, 3DVista has proven to be simple to use and budget-friendly.) 
  • Content Development : The steering committee planned for several rounds of review, editing, and sharing feedback once a prototype was ready. A freelance writer helped craft descriptions of each location with the proposed tone, voice, length, and amount of information matching the agreed-upon objective of conveying warmth, authenticity, positivity, humanity, and liveliness. A freelance voice actor was also hired to provide the virtual tours’ audio narration, with a goal of lending a positive, warm, lively, authentic, and human experience.
  • Official Stops : Each attraction on the tour would feature a 3D panoramic photo, a general description, and a gallery of still photography. (Within the 3D photo space, users would also be able to see and click on optional hotspots or move to other official stops.)
  • Hotspots : Clickable areas within a 3D panoramic photo, each hotspot could have one or more photos along with a blurb.
  • Still Photography : An assortment of two to three photos highlighting unique features, and submitted by UCSF community members, was determined to be a nice way for collective participation.
  • 360-Degree Photography : A team of two scouted locations, worked with a vendor to capture official stops, and assessed what equipment would be needed to reshoot certain areas when the need arose. (Bonus:  Meet the Makers spotlight  by the UCSF Library)
  • “Welcome” Drone Footage Reel : A discussion about creating a master cut led to a more dynamic landing page experience.
  • Integration into UCSF website : The team explored the best way to embed the tours onto the UCSF website, including an accessible version for screen readers.
  • Webinar : The project lead hosted a lunch-and-learn presentation to share the latest vision of this project with key UCSF stakeholders, in addition to holding independent meetings to make sure their needs were met and to answer questions.
  • Blueprint Template : Light user testing was incorporated to see if the current design was working before making adjustments to establish a blueprint template to create additional tours.

Almost There: Building, Testing, and Many Rounds of Review

After a round of user testing and some development hitches, plus a few tweaks to the general tour design, a draft of the virtual tour was ready for review on a development site with an explanation of some changes that were implemented:

  • Watermark : A minimized navigation bar could not be added due to browser conflicts, so a UCSF watermark that takes the user back to the main site was added instead.
  • Navigation Choices : “Next” and “Back” were confusing to users; instead the “Next Stop: Location” was used.
  • VR : The VR logo was removed since it was confusing on the desktop.
  • On-Start Play Button : A play button was added to prevent an irksome automated pop-up since browser security protocols forced users to enable multimedia.
  • Audio : An animation at the start of the tour was inserted to draw attention to the audio narration option.
  • Map : A link to the campus map was included in case users want a more geographic orientation.
  • Mobile : A completely new template for vertical orientation in mobile was constructed to make the virtual tours available via UCSF Mobile’s in-app browser screens.
  • Accessibility : All content needed to be recreated on the backend of the site to ensure screen readers can navigate it.

Arrival…A Few Glitches Later!

Our selected narrator—who happened to be in super high demand—delivered the audio files on the day of the tour launch, so a mad dash ensued to manually splice the audio into unique MP3 files once received!

After incorporating a beautiful edit of drone footage at the eleventh hour, UCSF launched its  first-ever virtual campus tours  mid April 2021 to coincide with Alumni Weekend.

UCSF leadership has remarked this project was a great cross UCSF collaboration, involving teams from the four professional schools, the Graduate Division, research, Campus Life Services, and UCSF Health. And while it’s only been a year since the debut, updates to the first batch of virtual tours are already in order, given the recent opening of some new buildings! But the steering committee is prepared to reconvene and will be better equipped to develop the next set of campus location tours in the coming months.

This significant milestone achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of steering committee members Louise Chu, Nada Hansen, Kathleen Hennessy (with a special shoutout to Susan Merrell), Gillian Grisman, Suzie Kirrane, Christine Shaff, Sara Shaffer (lead), Katherine Tam, and Stephanie Yee.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

  • Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
  • Moscow subway system is the  5th in the intensity  of use (after the subways of Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai).
  • The interval in the movement of trains in rush hour is  90 seconds .

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.
