Abstract

Promoting heritage objects for educational tourism is always challenging. Indonesia, for example, has many unique local architectural heritages scattered among its 34 provinces. Unfortunately, ordinary tourists like visiting popular and easily accessible heritages leaving the rest unvisited. Fortunately, Virtual Reality (VR) technology offers virtual visits to all those objects without the time and distance constraints. This research used a literature study and a user-centered design (UCD) method to develop a VR-based opensource application called Abiyasa to help local governments promote educational tourism and architectural heritage. The research used Pulo Kenanga of the Yogyakarta Palace as its case study. The research resulted in an application that enables the provincial government to provide valid information on its heritage objects in a user-friendly and educating way, online and offline. Thirty tester respondents found Abiyasa was enjoyable and informative.
