Campus Virtual Tour Design to Enhance Visitor Experience and Interaction in a Natural Environment

Abstract

The natural forest and natural laboratory of the UKM campus are a part of nature that could be made into attractions for tourists and visitors, as they are abundant with natural resources, including scenic views, topography, as well as water features, plants, and heritage. The university has undertaken various efforts to share this information through portals and web pages. However, the method of information deliverydisplay and delivery of static text and graphics is not that effective. As a consequence, users or visitor are unable to interact or appreciate the experience of being in an natural environment. Therefore, this study has developed a campus virtual tour design to enhance interaction experience in natural environment through a low-fidelity interface design method, brainstorming, and virtual tour prototype development. The result of this study is a campus virtual tour design that can enhance the experience of benign, and utilisation of a natural environment.

Virtual Tour Campus Sebagai Media Promosi di Masa Pandemik Covid-19

“…Virtual tour dirancang untuk memberikan perbaikan terhadap media informasi yang telah ada, dengan karakter panorama 360 o yang menampilkan lokasi secara berkelanjutan ke dalam sudut pandang yang tidak terbatas, sehingga menghasilkan media informasi yang interaktif dan memliki daya tarik tersendiri [1]. Pengunjung dapat menikmati dan menghargai pengalaman berada di lingkungan alam melalui penerapan non-immersive teknologi [2]. Dengan menggabungkan beberapa foto sehingga mendapatkan panorama area yang akan membawa pengunjung mengalami obyek seolah-olah benar-benar ada [3].…”

Rancang Bangun Interior Architectural Visualization Menggunakan Unreal Engine 4

“…Beban kognitif mengacu pada total memori yang digunakan, setiap desain antarmuka harus dirancang mempertimbangkan persyaratan kemampuan kognitif, dan keterbatasan pengguna. Tampilan grafis yang menyeluruh, sederhana, dan menarik serta posisi tautan menu dan tombol yang jelas akan memudahkan pengguna menggunakan aplikasi [5]. Berbeda dengan 3 penelitian sebelum, pada penelitian ini akan memanfaatkan Unreal Engine 4 untuk membuat aplikasi architectural visualization.…”
