Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a Virtual Tour application utilizing Finite State Machine (FSM) to enhance the interaction of a Non-Playable Character (NPC) as a tour guide in a 3D virtual environment. The primary issue addressed is the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry, which led to travel restrictions and limited opportunities for visitors to explore tourist destinations physically. The aim of the study is to create a virtual tourism experience as an alternative solution, enabling users to explore historical sites like Pasar Lama Tangerang remotely through Google Cardboard VR. To achieve this, the NPC’s behavior is controlled using FSM, allowing the character to transition between states—idle, walking, and talking—based on user interactions. Data was collected through user testing with a Likert scale questionnaire, evaluating user satisfaction and the effectiveness of the FSM method. The results revealed a 74.35% positive user rating, categorized as Good, demonstrating the potential of FSM to provide an interactive, engaging, and educational virtual tour experience. These findings highlight the effectiveness of FSM in creating a dynamic and user-responsive virtual tour, offering significant benefits to the tourism sector by providing an innovative, accessible, and immersive way for potential visitors to explore destinations during travel restrictions. This research contributes to the growing field of e-tourism, showcasing the potential of virtual reality and FSM to transform the tourism industry in times of crisis.

Abstract

This research focuses on optimizing a neural network model for stock price prediction using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), considering the inherent risks and potential high returns associated with stock investment. Given the challenges posed by stock price volatility, this study combines Moving Average (MA) a fundamental statistical technique in stock market analysis with advanced data mining approaches, specifically neural networks and PSO, to enhance prediction accuracy. The primary objective is to improve the efficiency of neural networks by minimizing error rates and equipping investors with more reliable tools for financial decision-making. The proposed methodology involves converting historical stock price data into a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a 5-day period, followed by optimizing a neural network model using PSO. This optimization process fine-tunes key parameters, particularly the weight distributions of various stock market indicators, including Open SMA, High SMA, Low SMA, and Close SMA. Model performance is evaluated using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as a validation metric. The findings indicate a significant enhancement in the predictive accuracy of the neural network model after PSO optimization. The optimal configuration is identified in a two-layer neural network with a specific node arrangement. This optimized model not only improves stock price forecasting precision but also has practical implications for investors and financial analysts in risk management and profit maximization.
