THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A VIRTUAL TOUR APPLICATION FOR MOUNTAIN TOP UNIVERSITY VISITORS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a Virtual tour application for mountain top university that would enable potential students and parents to explore the campus using a mobile head mounted display (HMD). The study identified the various user and system requirements, specified the system design and implemented the system. To identify and comprehend the current virtual reality tourism systems, a literature review was conducted. By conducting informal interviews with system users, the user and system requirements were identified. UML diagrams, like use case and class diagrams, were used to specify the system design. C#, Unity, and Blender were used to implement the system. The results of the system showed the implementation of the virtual reality environment from CHMS Junction to the Cafeteria being able to be viewed effectively with the use of head mounted display (HMDs).The study concluded that using the virtual reality system users are able to achieve a semi-realistic visual experience of mountain top university.
