Augmented reality tours

It’s fun to be fascinated by bright and shiny things.
This video is for an app (not live yet) that allows you see scenes from movies that were filmed in the place you’re standing. Found via Brandflakes for Breakfast.
You know what I thought of? All those sad, lonely campus tours that happen over the summer and breaks.
You know the ones. The students are gone. The campus is quiet. All that’s left to look at are empty buildings and well-manicured grounds. An energetic, young tour guide is nice. But what if you could take video from some of the great events on your campus and overlay it on the tour? Film the graduation procession, concerts, Greek Olympics, exciting classes, etc.
The added bonus: if a prospect comes to campus and didn’t schedule a tour, or no one is there, they can still wander and get a feel for the environment. I think it would be neat!
