Virtual Reality Implementation for University Presentation
Author:
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to apply virtual reality technology for university presentation, so that evaluate if it is useful and usable. Due to the pandemic situation, the topic is also relevant to the current situation as many universities have shifted to online classes. With 3D modelling and coding, a university presentation application (only for computer engineering department) with virtual reality base has been developed that will allow the user to navigate around the school building and its surroundings. Because the developed application uses a new technology, it is designed to be convenient and simple considering that it can be difficult to use. Application allows movement in this virtual world according to constraints, as well as providing sound warnings when necessary. The application tested with a helmeted display, represented by Google Cardboard, with two lenses in it and a groove for the phone. The limited experiments by different users showed that the application was impressive, although it was not easy to use devices efficiently for an unexperienced user. On the other hand, with emerging technologies, it is possible develop such applications as web application using Unity WebVR Assests which will make it easy of use.
