Abstract
<h1><span>In this work, we designed and developed a Virtual Reality guided tour mobile app for Landmark University farms, LF-ViT. We were motivated by the need to circumvent the problem of bio-security caused by incessant visit to the farm by visitors, tourists or customers. <strong></strong></span></h1><span>The guided tour was implemented using the storytelling technique. Other technical details of the design and implementation process are discussed</span>
Highlights
The possibility of representing and replacing real places, objects and activities with an immersive virtual experience holds great potentials for wide ranging application areas and is generating increased research interest
Sites or sceneries which are otherwise inaccessible, owing to distance or other constraining factors have made the need for the creation of a virtual environment using computer generated imagery data of the real or supposed environment necessary
Advances in Virtual Reality researches have resulted in considerable improvement with the development of interactive computer technology and sophisticated 3D modelling packages (Noh et al, 2009)
Summary
The possibility of representing and replacing real places, objects and activities with an immersive virtual experience holds great potentials for wide ranging application areas and is generating increased research interest. Virtual Reality (VR) is very important for obvious reasons One such reason, is the seeming impossibility of recreating some real-life scenario or events. Virtual Reality, otherwise referred to as ‘immersive multimedia’ or computersimulated reality, deploys technology to replicates an environment which may be real or hypothetical, and integrates an interactive simulation if the user’s physical presence and environment. Advances in Virtual Reality researches have resulted in considerable improvement with the development of interactive computer technology and sophisticated 3D modelling packages (Noh et al, 2009). Such advances are revolutionizing tourism and advertisement as it is possible to provide immersive experience of concepts or places being propagated.
