Abstract

Portland is home to the largest and one of the most prestigious athletic clubs in the world: Multnomah Athletic Club. In many ways, it is the pinnacle of luxury and innovation, and over time, it finds any way to entice prospective members to pay the expensive upfront fee of $6000 and monthly membership fees exceeding $300. Due to the previous technological barrier, which was not being able to see the full extent of what amenities the club had to offer, the club faced major challenges in recruitment and marketing. Over two academic terms, a team of six computer science capstone students, including myself, from Portland State University, undertook a project to close the space that was a complication for the club. This essay will detail the process we undertook to develop a comprehensive, interactive virtual tour for the MAC. Many of the elements included creating a custom web application that integrates 360-degree photography, a third-party tour platform, and a dynamic, interactive mapping system to provide an immersive, intuitive, and informative experience. In this writeup of my experiences along with the rest of my team, I will detail the initial project motivations, the technical architecture, the collaborative development process, the unexpected challenges encountered, and the crucial lessons learned in delivering a software solution that aligned both the academic requirements my team had to meet and the sponsor's professional vision of how it would help shape the future of the club.
