A world of
possibility.
Follow the palms into the heart of Stanford. Step through sandstone arcades, explore remarkable interiors, and meet the minds of the university.

Follow the palms.
See what opens.
Enter the sandstone arcades of the Main Quad. Find the reading rooms in Green Library, climb Hoover Tower, step inside Memorial Church, and explore Stanford’s art, music, engineering and athletics. The campus includes 32 building reconstructions with walk-through interiors, plus outdoor venues.
Meet educational avatars of Fei-Fei Li, Andrew Ng, Christopher Manning and other faculty, famous alumni, and athletes from the published varsity rosters. Create your own public character and let other visitors meet it, using the same profile and conversation controls as UBC.
Student cameos draw on public academic profiles, LinkedIn education excerpts and the supplied research list. Source checks vary by record; current enrollment is unverified. All appearances and walking routes are simulated.
Halloween brings moonlight, ghosts, jiangshi, yōkai, monsters, comic superheroes, manga characters and robots. Its automatic season is October 24–November 7. The base campus returns afterward, and either edition can be selected at any time. A future Christmas edition is reserved for December.
Real references.
Room to explore.
Original geometry draws on campus maps, building photographs and public room descriptions. These are detailed interpretations, not surveyed digital twins. Interiors, furnishing positions and avatars remain stylized; no real person’s location is tracked. Real-world access restrictions are independent of virtual access.

Varsity roster coverage · 823 athletes
Stanford is an NCAA Division I institution. Artistic swimming, sailing, squash, men’s rowing and lightweight rowing are included as Stanford varsity teams but compete under their own collegiate governing bodies, not an NCAA championship in those disciplines.
Every imported athlete has a virtual walking route; nearby avatars are streamed within crowd limits. Seasons below are the labels published by Stanford, including forthcoming seasons. This is a dated roster snapshot.
