The rapid development of science and technology has been influential and has significance for human life. It can be seen from the various facilities offered and provided. With the advancement of technology and information, it also makes people connect with other parties as if they are no longer limited by time and place. In general, applications that implement Virtual Reality technology aim to provide an overview of an environment and information to users. The use of virtual reality technology in the field of tourism has not been widely used. This research was made to build interactive applications that can display information and tourist objects in the form of 360° images visually to facilitate users in viewing tourist attractions in the Majalengka area. The methodology used in this study is the MDLC methodology (Multimedia Development Life Circle). This application was built using C # programming language with Unity 3D software. The final result of this research is the making of a Virtual Reality application for the introduction of a tourist attraction in the Majalengka Regency West Java province that can be used by users to view 360-degree information and attractions using smartphones that already support virtual reality technology and are paired with virtual reality glasses.
