King Saud University Experience Center
A permanent, sensor-driven experience center combining cinematic storytelling and an AR campus maquette.
Location
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Tech Stack
01 / Overview
AO-INTERACTIVE partnered with Metacode to plan and build a state-of-the-art, permanent interactive experience center for King Saud University in Riyadh.
We designed and delivered the complete digital content ecosystem, merging sensor-driven storytelling screens with an interactive AR-enabled maquette that serves as a premium briefing tool for VIP delegations and university leadership.
02 / The Challenge
Navigating Complexity
Transforming a traditional visitor center into an active, responsive journey. The systems had to run continuously with zero manual intervention, proximity sensors needed to trigger content flawlessly, and a physical 4x4m campus maquette had to be overlaid with real-time digital info.
03 / The Solution
Innovative Execution
- Visitor journey engineering: Programmed a network of proximity sensors to activate content when visitors approach any of the 4 key displays.
- Cinematic content creation: Rendered 3D storytelling animations mapping out KSU's history, achievements, and future vision.
- Interactive AR campus maquette: Developed a tablet-based AR app that recognizes the physical maquette, overlaying dynamic maps and university POIs.
- Kiosk navigation: Integrated 4 touchscreen kiosks allowing visitors to explore detailed POI data and trigger video projections.
