Museum Personal Guide: Tackling the Limited Conditions

Abstract

Learning Museum of Universitas Negeri Malang (Museum UM) is one of the university learning museums in Indonesia. Museum UM comes with a more modern concept by referring to the museum's storyline and utilizing technological developments. Museums cannot be separated from digitalization as an effort to adapt to the disruptive era. Digitalization is important after the Covid-19 outbreak was declared as a world pandemic by WHO. Virtual Augmented Reality or AVMUSEUM application can be an alternative solution to the crisis experienced by the museum. Visitors will be presented with a reconstruction of the Museum UM in a virtual world. A real museum guide was added in the guidance video. The method used to design the AVMUSEUM application is Rapid Application Development (RAD) with requirements planning, design workshop, and implementation stages. The innovation of Museum UM is expected to adapt and answer the challenges of the disruptive era and the Covid-19 Pandemic.
