Abstract

Indonesia is a country with cultural diversity spread throughout the regions. One of the large tribes is the Malay tribe, divided into Deutro Malay and Proto Malay. They have their own traditional house called Rumah Panggung Melayu Serdang Bedagai with its uniqueness and noble meaning. However, developments over time have influenced house building styles that are more minimalist and modern. The aim of this research is to introduce the Malay Serdang Bedagai Traditional House to the public in a modern way, namely by visualizing the object in 3D using Virtual Reality (VR) as well as providing education regarding the Malay Serdang tribal customs. In facing this challenge, new methods and innovation are needed. One way is to combine gamification method and randomization algorithm. From this research, the results showed that 93% of users have an interest in the virtual reality of the Malay Serdang Bedagai Traditional House, while 84% of users like good user interaction, on the other hand, 82% of users have a good perception regarding the graphic quality of the application, while 84% of users like the work effectiveness of the application, but user satisfaction with the comfort of using the application with VR Box is only 57%, so there is a need for updates, or the development of new tools for using virtual reality. Meanwhile, the test from the validator liked the 3D model design, and information related to traditional house, as well as the added features which were very good.
