Abstract

Currently, the management and presentation of local identity data still face limitations in terms of data integration and system development costs. Research proposing digital model approaches that integrate virtual reality technology for presenting local identity data remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to: (1) develop a digital template model integrating virtual reality for presenting local identity data, and (2) analyze the economic feasibility of the developed model. This research and development integrates data from the RCBT-SIP and KIMs platforms, selecting local identity information specific to Roi Et Province to be displayed on a model created using computer programming combined with virtual reality technology. The research results show that the developed model can present Roi Et’s local identity data in digital and virtual reality formats, covering six categories: Thung Kula Ronghai jasmine rice, medicinal herbs, silk, cultural traditions, community products, and tourist attractions and facilities. Economic feasibility analysis was conducted by comparing system development costs and time alongside the calculation of the Return on Investment (ROI). The analysis found an ROI of 70.72 percent, reflecting economic viability and the potential for application at the local level.
