Abstract

This paper presents a low-infrastructure, web-based 360° virtual tour for Makam Syekh Mubarok, designed for deployment by village-level custodians using a commodity stack (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Bootstrap, jQuery, and Photo Sphere Viewer). Our contribution is threefold: (i) a reproducible build-and-deploy pattern tailored to resource-constrained heritage sites, (ii) a transparent Agile implementation blueprint (product backlog, sprint cadence, definition-of-done, and CI/CD) that local teams can adopt, and (iii) a mixed-methods evaluation template that augments functional/compatibility checks with early quantitative UX measures (System Usability Scale, task-success rate, and dwell analytics). We position the work relative to prior virtual-tour studies by contrasting cost, maintainability, and operational burden, emphasizing process transparency over new viewer mechanics. Results show high functional coverage across common devices and promising initial usability signals. We note limitations (single-site scope, small pilot N) and outline a roadmap to multi-site validation, accessibility hardening (WCAG 2.2), and ethical guidelines for respectful interpretation of dark-heritage content
