Summary: | Lesson of history is part of the effort to preserve the culture and values of
the nation. However, the learning process is often less attractive to be studied.
This study proposes one solution to the interactive history learning named ARca.
ARca is included combined software and the physical book as a medium of
learning, which will bring the information of 3D models that represent the real
objects Prambanan temple, audio, animation, and additional text as
complementary information. This study emphasizes the process of developing a
prototype as one of the case study to implement markerless-based techniques of
augmented reality, implement the virtual button to interact with the system that
had not been previously applied to books in the past, testing aplication with a
variety of conditions, and applying ARca on the real learning situation. The result
is a printed version and Android software that allows the interaction beween book
and students, which is devoted as a learning medium that can display augmented
reality 3D models of temples, information, and an explanation of the Prambanan
temple. ARca can be run on a Entry-Level smartphone which is 1 Ghz Processor,
3.2 MP camera, OS Android 4.0.4 ICS, OpenGL ES 2.0 support, and 512 RAM
so that it can be used in almost every type of smartphone. Based on the testing of
the respondents obtained more than 75% expressed an interest in learning the
history by using ARca. The 85% responder States that ARca really useful if
applied to learning process, thus proving augmented reality can increase student
interest in studying the Prambanan temple.
