An Immersive Mobile Application For Improved Learning and Virtual Tour Experience: A Nature Reserve Perspective

摘要

The purpose of this study was to develop an immersive virtual reality application for the University of Western Cape’s nature reserve in South Africa. For this focus on a nature reserve project, the project team was requested to build a self-guided tour capable of achieving knowledge transfer, and which has aesthetic pleasure. The study was informed by the peculiar challenge of the nature reserve and existing literature to identify gaps that may occur in the body of knowledge. The scrum project methodology was used to manage the life cycle of the project. The application was successfully built within the given time frame and the client’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
