This study aims to develop a Virtual Reality-based geography Iearning medium using the Artsteps platform for lithosphere material among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 7 Palu. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate), although the research was limited to the Develop singe. The research subjects consisted of wo validators: a media expert and a material expert. Results showed that the virtual reality-based learning media using Artsteps achieved a feasibility score of 86.11% from the media expert and 97.06% from the material expert, both categorized as very feasible. Trials with students yielded a feasibility score of 86.40%, also categorized as very feasible, while teacher assessment produced a practicality score of 92.10%, categorized as very practical. These results indicate that the developed media features an attractive design, is easy to use, and provides an interactive learning experience through three-dimensional visualization of lithosphere material. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Artsteps-based virtual reality geography leaming media is highly feasible and practical for use in teaching lithosphere material at SMA Negeri 7 Palu. This media is expected to serve as an innovative learning alternative that supports digital technology-based geography education and facilitates a more contextual and visual understanding of lithosphere concepts.
