Abstract

The Mahakam River, one of the longest rivers in Kalimantan and Indonesia, is now recognized as a potential water tourism destination. Initially serving as an essential transport route for Borneo’s natural resources, the river has evolved into a tourist attraction, particularly with the arrival of the Mahakam tour boat. These boats offer a unique and refreshing tourist experience in Samarinda, with the theme of exploring the city through the river. However, behind the appeal of the Mahakam tour boats, several challenges arise regarding access to information for potential tourists. In particular, travelers find it difficult to get an initial overview of the experience before visiting due to the limited number of boats and the departure schedule that only takes place every Saturday and Sunday night. To address this, a Virtual Tour simulation was designed using a 360-degree camera at one of the strategic points along the river to showcase its beautiful scenery. This design provides a convenient and immersive option for tourists to preview the tour before visiting in person. The aim is to attract tourists who specifically seek the natural beauty of the Mahakam River. This research uses the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method, which consists of six stages: design, material collection, assembly, testing, distribution, and concept development. The hypothesis is that the use of a 360-degree camera will provide a new experience for users and serve as an initial reference to understand the virtual riverboat tour before they enjoy the tourist attraction directly.
