HKU INTERACTIVE MAP
Navigating the Journey at The University of Hong Kong
About Us
The “HKU Interactive Map” is a Final Year Project (FYP) under COMP 4801 at The University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Engineering, Department of Computer Science. This innovative navigation tool is designed specifically for new students, offering an intuitive and engaging way to explore the main campus. By leveraging web-based mapping libraries and real-time updates, it transforms traditional campus maps into a dynamic, user-friendly interface to enhance orientation and location discovery.
