Abstract

In our modern days virtual tour is popular and can be seen anywhere in the web in many different situation: documentation, school tours, company tour, hotels, and factory. These virtual tours provide information using different media like images, video, sounds or even 3D objects and combined this media to provide the users with an environment that will make the user feels that they are experiencing the information in real time.

These tours are usually navigate by mouse clicks and panning around a panoramic view. While virtual tours are interactive in those examples, there is a lack of interaction between the users viewing the tour. Interactive objects can become a substitution for the tradition interaction between user and the object that is inside the location. These objects that is restricted inside the location will be present in the virtual tour. This gives the user the ability to gain more knowledge about that objects and to make their experience better and more enjoyable. We create a virtual tour that expands the ability of the user and provide them with a virtual representation of an environment with different forms of interaction.

This system is an Interactive 3D Virtual Tour for Quezon Memorial Shrine Museum to promote the museum. These virtual tour will helped the users to visualize the museum and experience the inside of the museum in real time. It also benefit the museum in promoting and encourage the people to visit the museum.
