Abstract :
Application of Google earth-based virtual campus and integrated multimedia is a better way to provide campus information service. Through the touring in a virtual campus, the user can access information of the campus in a virtual reality manner. In this paper, a Bezier curves-based tour creator based on Google Earth API are established. User-friendly graphical user interfaces are designed to provide the easy-to use editing environment for the construction of the tours. A custom tour player is also designed to allow the user to explore the tours within the implemented system.
