Designing an interactive virtual navigation system needs consideration of compositive features such as modelling, movement control and object selection. Those features are key to meet end user requirements. Current virtual navigation systems are not beneficial to popularize in the case of development environment, methods and technologies. That is because such systems have limited application area and costs. Proprietary development environment result in limited selection in system components while new development technologies are unlikely to be accepted as staggering capital costs. In this paper, we propose a feasible scheme and development environment to design an interactive virtual navigation system for creating and utilizing digital campus models. Furthermore, the scheme also captures user interactivities via mouse and keyboard for further controls and selections in virtual campus. By adequate consideration of user preferences and personalities, this system benefits in portability, flexibility; has a high degree of standardization and lower cost.
