The 360 virtual tour project is being undertaken to make the Faculty of Engineering Technology laboratory more accessible and engaging to users who may be unable to visit in person. A virtual tour serves as an interactive presentation of real places that can be accessed directly through an internet browser without requiring additional installations, apps, or plugins . Using 360° photos that are recorded, processed, and stitched into spherical panoramas, the tour combines panoramic photos (or videos) into a seamless, interactive walk-through experience. This technology enables remote users, including students, to explore the lab facilities and equipment without the need for physical presence, expanding the lab's reach to a broader audience.
Beyond accessibility, video demos that show the Mechanics of Machines Laboratory, the Control and Instrumentation Laboratory, and the Static and Dynamic Laboratory latest technology in operation have been added to the LabXplore 360: Pengalaman Maya Makmal FTK project. By allowing users to see how each tool works and is applied, this immersive video content can enhance the lab experience and possibly attract more students who are interested in cutting-edge technology and experiential learning. Users can change their perspective horizontally or from any angle with a 360° Interactive Virtual Tour format, offering an immersive visual experience that closely mimics an on-site visit. This interactive feature allows users to explore different sections of the lab in detail, encouraging a deeper understanding of the lab's resources and fostering a sense of engagement.
