Abstract
The objective of this research was to develop an application presenting virtual tourist attractions with panoramic images on the city wall in Chiang Mai province. The sample group in this research consisted of 3 application quality evaluation experts who were purposively selected and 68 randomly selected application users for assessment of their satisfaction with the application. The research instruments consisted of (1) an application presenting virtual tourist attractions with panoramic images of the city wall in Chiang Mai province, developed by using the Netbean program, Android Studio program, and MySQL database system; (2) an application quality evaluation form; and (3) an application satisfaction assessment form. Results of the research revealed that the application could be used via a smartphone on the Android operating system to virtually present information about tourist attractions on the city wall of Chiang Mai with panoramic images. Users could interact with the application's presentation of information via various buttons to control the display of information in each tourist attraction as if walking within the area of that place. The user's current location could be identified and routes were recommended, and users could connect the application to the map to navigate to each location. The application was tried out with the samples resulting in finding their overall satisfaction of 4.17, which was considered a high level of satisfaction.
