Developing augmented reality based application for character education using unity with Vuforia SDK

Abstract

Character education is an education-focused in implementing moral values, ethics and citizenship education. This is an approach to developing good character and developing the school as a caring community. The youngest generation nowadays, which primarily targeted by character education was born facing already-advanced ICT (Information and Communication Technology), so it recommended using an ICT's benefit like AR. An AR (Augmented Reality is a system that supplements the real world with virtual objects that appear to coexist in the same space as the real world. Augmented Reality offers an immersive virtual learning experience; as a result, an education that was giving more than standard audio-visual material. In this research, the developing an ICT based application for character education using Augmented Reality as the main feature, and will be discussed explicitly about an augmented reality that running on the mobile device that will be using specifically for the character education. The program will be developed throughout the following methodology: Literature Review, to provide information and knowledge how to build and to apply an AR-based application and finding the right sampling method, Building the Apps, using Unity integrated with Vuforia Engine. Unity is a game engine capable of developing computer, console or mobile game. Vuforia is a platform for developing Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality, Application Testing, test the AR system in the real world environment. The Result is an android app that could capture the "marker" and make the AR appearing in the smartphone device. This result used to help teachers to educate the young students that still need a character education to build their good character stronger.

Augmented Reality: Prototype for the Teaching-Learning Process in Peru

“…2) Vuforia: To introduce the augmented reality, Vuforia (augmented reality software development kit) was used, since this uses vision technology to recognize and track the images in real-time, taking the display of the screen of the devices as a "medium" to connect it with the world of the increased reality. Vuforia (augmented reality software development kit), It serves us to generate a license key, which will help us load the database created in Vuforia (augmented reality software development kit) in Unity, to generate the augmented reality [29].…”

Blended Learning Challenges During COVID-19: A Case of Cost Accounting 2 Students at a Selected South African Higher Education Institution

“…The students were given the questionnaires at the end of the semester. The researcher designed an online survey in a Likert scale format using the Question Pro application to gather the data and because it allows standardised and numerical data to be collected; then later it was analysed (Sarosa, 2019). The questionnaire was categorised into the following two sections to collect data from the respondents: (1) Demographic information, and (2) Challenges experienced with BL.…”

Gim ASIK sebagai Metode Komunikasi Visual dalam Pengembangan Karakter Anak Usia Dini

“…Berbagai upaya yang telah dilakukan didalam mengembangkan pendidikan karakter pada anak, diantaranya melalui pemainan tradisional (Hidayati, 2020;Jiwandono et al, 2020), media cerita interaktif melalui pendekatan AEINS (Adaptive Educational Interactive Narrative System), yang dapat mendukung perkembangan moral pada anak usia 8 tahun (Hodhod, 2010), hingga melalui media di era sekarang misalnya aplikasi gim interaktif (Pramono, 2021), aplikasi berbasis Android (Ardani et al, 2020) sampai pada platform Augmented Reality (Sarosa et al, 2019).…”
