Through Augmented Reality, students can view the history of the university as well as finding out some information on the marine, aeronautical, astronautical engineering field – which the college is very well known for.
The school decided to add AR into their acceptance letters to highlight the universities "cutting edge" technology. It seems to be the first of its kind in China, as well as worldwide.
A lot of us were first introduced to the idea of AR with Pokemon Go. How it works is by calculating the position and angle of camera view in real time, whilst adding images, videos, and 3D models.
