Why?

  • Identified a gap in how Stanford preserves and shares campus traditions, especially for new students and alumni who feel disconnected from the physical campus.

  • Saw an opportunity to use AR to make history, culture, and community experiential instead of informational—turning static landmarks into immersive, interactive stories.

  • Aimed to design a scalable digital layer that strengthens belonging, boosts campus engagement, and creates a modern, accessible way to discover Stanford’s identity.
