Abstract

Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama (UNU) Yogyakarta has long depended on static 2D photographs and scattered social media content to convey campus conditions — a method that consistently falls short of giving prospective students any real spatial understanding of the campus environment. For students outside Yogyakarta, this means making enrollment decisions based on incomplete visual fragments. This study addresses that gap by designing and building a web-based 360° Virtual Tour system using the Prototyping development method. The system adopts a decoupled architecture: Django REST Framework handles backend data operations, while Next.js — paired with the React Photo Sphere Viewer library — drives the panoramic front-end display. Black Box functional testing confirmed that all eight tested features operated without error. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) conducted with 66 respondents produced a feasibility score of 83.0%, classified as "Very Feasible." The highest-rated indicator was Real Campus Representation at 4.44 out of 5.00, confirming that users found the system's depiction of campus space genuinely accurate. The system offers a self-managed, cost-conscious alternative to vendor-dependent tour platforms, with clear implications for how smaller institutions can reclaim control over their own digital presence.
