3D Animation for Transferring Technology to the Community in Rural

Abstract

Abstract-Face to face meeting is the most common way in technology transfer, especially being addressed to the rural community. It becomes challenge for Indonesia as an archipelago country, since transportation and commonication system is still in the difficulty. It requires a media that is not constrained by the distance and time but low cost. This research aims to analyze the usage of 3D animation for transferring technology to the rural community as well remote area. The technology in this research is an appropriate technology consisting of solar drying cabinet (SDC) and sealer as well as reservoir. Meanwhile the community is people who live in Tanjung Batang Island, a small Island in Indonesia. Interview and observation are employed in data collection. The result shows that the content of the media has to be revised by using local terms as well as more focused and detailed. The conclusion is that 3D animation could be a prospective media for transferring technology to the rural community without assistance.
