Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC)-Based Design of A Virtual Tour For School Libraries

User education and library promotion in schools still takes a largely manual form and is managed during the student orientation only (MPLS). Today, this approach is outdated and has little sustainability. With the view to solving this problem, a Virtual Library was set up on the basis of Virtual Reality (VR) technology and the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) approach. !e system allows one to navigate in the school library in an interactive and autonomous way. !e process was six-step MDLC phases, including concept, design, gathering of material, assembly, testing, and distribution. Design was done using storyboards and conceptualization was carried out using interviews and observations. 3D objects were done in blender and Canva, and assembly was done in 3D Homestyler and Panoee. Blackbox Testing using Equivalence Partitioning was used in the system and there was a 100 percent functional validity. !e performance of networks was also checked out through CBN Speedtest, which shows that a solid internet is necessary to facilitate smooth discovery. !e User Acceptance Testing (UAT) reported 92 percent approval rate which implies that the system is quite feasible and is user-friendly and it is within the users expectations. !e end product was available through an access link, which made the product to be made available with ease to both students and teachers. !is innovation of the Virtual Library o"ers a new, resourceful, and viable means of orienting and marketing a library within the digital world.
