NTU Study Abroad Expo: Innovative Application of Three.js in Education

Hello Three.js Community!

I’m excited to share how our team at Polish™, a digital innovation company from Taiwan, used Three.js to create an amazing virtual education expo for National Taiwan University’s Study Abroad program.

This project, which we’ve been continuously developing and improving since 2022, completely changed how students explore study abroad opportunities and shows how 3D web technology can transform education. While we’re based in Taiwan, we’re proud to work with clients both locally and internationally, bringing innovative digital solutions across borders!

The Problem We Solved

During the pandemic, traditional education fairs became impossible. Yet NTU (National Taiwan University) still needed to connect thousands of students with global exchange programs. We faced several challenges:

  • How to let thousands of students explore information at the same time
  • How to present complex information in a simple, engaging way
  • How to create a sense of “Being There” when everyone was physically apart
  • How to make everything work smoothly on different devices, from laptops to phones

How We Used Three.js to Create Something Special

We built a virtual interactive world map where students could explore global exchange opportunities. Our key innovations include:

  • Beautiful Visuals That Don’t Slow Down:
    We created special graphic effects that look great but don’t require super powerful computers. This means even when thousands of students use the system at once, everything still runs smoothly.
  • Smart Loading System:
    Our website only loads what you’re looking at right now, so pages open quickly and navigation feels natural.
  • Easy Interaction:
    We made it simple to click on interesting points and get more information, with smooth camera movements that make the experience feel cinematic.
  • Works Everywhere:
    Whether you’re on your gaming computer or a basic smartphone, the experience works well on all devices.


The Amazing Results

Our virtual expo platform achieved incredible results:

  • Massive Participation Increase:
    30 times more students participated compared to previous physical events
  • Huge Reach:
    Nearly 9,000 students accessed exchange program information
  • Incredible Engagement:
    Users stayed and explored for up to 2 hours
    (compared to average website visits of just minutes)
  • Universal Access:
    Students could join from any device, anywhere in the world

Let’s Learn Together and Improve

This project, which has been running successfully since 2022 with continuous improvements, has taught us valuable lessons about Three.js implementation for large-scale educational applications.

We’re constantly refining our approach and would love your feedback! Have you used Three.js for education or events with thousands of users? What challenges did you face? Do you see ways we could improve our implementation? Your insights would be incredibly valuable as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with Three.js!
