Augmented reality for studying hands on the human body for elementary school students

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) media has become a utilization or an intermediary tool in everyday life. Augmented Reality has become a medium to contribute to human life, such as games, virtual tourism objects, and learning media. However, the application of Augmented Reality media in the world of education as a learning medium is still rarely used. Therefore, the holding of this research is as a form of contribution to the development of Augmented Reality media as a learning medium. The form of contribution from this research is a simple Augmented Reality created by using qualitative method to collect and analyze the elementary students data and Marker Based Tracking method resulting an application that has a function as a hand-shaped prop teaching aid for learning the body parts of the hands in elementary school students. With this learning media, it is hoped that it would help teachers and elementary school students in studying the parts of human body. All elementary school teachers can use the Aplikasi AR Belajar Bagian Tangan as a teaching medium in elementary school laboratories on their elementary school students or as a prop while students listening to their teacher explanations while seeing which parts of the hand are pointed out by elementary school teachers through the Aplikasi AR Belajar Bagian Tangan. This Aplikasi AR Belajar Bagian Tangan may provide elementary school students with their study and experience in using AR as a learning medium that can improve students’ analytical skills.
