Development of a use case for virtual reality to visit a historical monument

Abstract

With the development of new approaches of interaction, virtual reality is distinguished by its ability to provide an unprecedented immersion for the user. Imperial cities, many of whose monuments remain out of reach for a large majority of tourists, are certainly in need of experimenting and deploying virtual tours to promote their tourism. This paper presents the work made to develop a use case of virtual reality in an interactive and multi-platform visit to a historical monument of the city of Fez. The aim of this work is to create 360-degree virtual tours of important or inaccessible areas such as the case of the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, which is not accessible to non-muslims. using the most recent tools along with best practices and 3D rendering techniques.
