Increase The Interest In Learning By Implementing Augmented Reality: Case studies studying rail transportation.

Abstract

Learn a subject, for some people, might be an uninteresting and boring activity, especially when the subject to learn are difficult subjects to understand. Many methods used to change learning activities become more enjoyable and interested. This study proposed a new method in learning activities, by applied augmented reality technology in the learning process. The case study used in this paper are implementation the augmented reality in studied subjects related to train technology. In this study, author implement augmented reality on learning material, combines real and virtual things in one media, in this case a mobile device. The impact of implementation of augmented studied, at the end of experiment, author can conclude when implement augmented reality technology in learning material helps the learning process and increasing the impressive and fun factor in learning process and make the learning process more interested. Implementation of Augmented Reality in learning material gives more information about the object being studied, information about on shapes, textures, and provide more visualization for the object.
