People nowadays especially university students are more focusing on using devices in their daily life in all aspect such as booking their flight ticket, ordering food, online shopping, taking attendance in class, checking latest news in social media, searching information using Google and finding for direction to reach specific place by using Google maps or Waze. This show how technology today able to ease people life. Usually for the first timer person at unfamiliar place will face difficulties to find their targeted destination as they do not have any information regarding the direction or specific location on that place. This situation illustrates some of FCSIT students either first year student or student from other faculty and any visitor always face when they try to find particular place around FCSIT. Some people like FCSIT students or visitor might face difficulty in finding a specific lecturer’s room, lecture hall, laboratory and also other places around FCSIT as they are not familiar with the surrounding and this cause them unable to find places around FCSIT properly. Commonly students or visitor need to use manual method for wayfinding like ask around or just follow the signage provided to know the correct location and direction that they need to take before reaching their destination. In this project, a system known as FollowMe: My FCSIT Virtual Tour Guide will be developed to ease the students and also any visitor to find a way around FCSIT by having conversation with the bot. Bot will assist the user by giving an instant response and direction instruction through text based, audio and image to help them reach their targeted destination. This system is developed to improve the manual method which is following the signage provided or asking for help directly from people surrounding when finding a place such as tutorial room in FCSIT. Instead of using manual method it will be more convenience for user to use this system.
