Abstract

The Indonesian Medical Education Institute (IMERI), as the first institute of medical education and research, needs to introduce itself to the public. In the COVID-19 pandemic, IMERI faced the challenge of how to develop a virtual tour with limited resources and time when the economic situation was difficult, which can be embedded in an institutional Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) platform. To solve this problem, this study presented the development of virtual tour 360 IMERI using H5P virtual tour 360. The development used the multimedia development life cycle (MDLC). Three sixty-degree images were produced using a smartphone camera combined with the Google Street View application to generate auto-stitching images. Participants have positive and negative experiences while using this application and give some feedback related to the suggestions for improvement of this application. Participants perceived that the application was easy-to-use and useful. So, it has an impact on their positive tour experience. The participants were more focused on navigation and loading time duration, which related to their satisfaction with the tour experience. This study also gives some insight into the technical aspects of the 360 virtual tour development process and additional features to improve the user experience. In conclusion, 360-degree image production and freedom of movement play an important role in creating more realistic virtual tour experiences.
