Engfi Gate: An Indoor Guidance System using Marker-based Cyber-Physical Augmented-Reality

A guidance system is needed when freshmen explore their new building environment. With the advancements of mobile technologies, a guidance system using mobile computing devices such as mobile phones or tablets could aid freshmen in locating the desired destination with ease. The proposed system consists of three main subsystems: the marker-based cyber-physical interaction (CPI) system, the indoor positioning (IP) system, and the augmented-reality (AR) system. With the help of visible markers and invisible markers, the CPI system allows the users to do interactions between the physical and cyber environments; the IP system produces accurate user position information; the AR system provides the users with good user experiences. An Android application, named Engfi Gate, is developed to realize the system design in the test environment. This paper also shows the comparisons of the proposed system with other related systems. Furthermore, the design architecture of Engfi Gate system can be used in other location-based applications

Augmented reality objects design in augmented story book mobile application for better engagement

The folktale is a kind of story that has some good points, such as developing a sense of story and shaping up positive attitudes towards children. However, people seem to abandon those good points and often give the children smartphones instead of folktale through the conventional book. Recently, smartphones’ capabilities have rapidly improved, so that augmented reality (AR) story books which combine conventional book and smartphone can be developed. This research is conducted to examine which one from three provided models that work best for engagement in a folktale augmented book. Those designs will be discussed in both subjective and objective approach, correspondingly. The result from subjective approach is the animated video AR design becomes the most pleasing design. The picture and narrator’s voice AR design, by contrast, becomes the most efficient design based on objective approach

Vertex markers: Modification of grid methods as markers to reproduce large size augmented reality objects to afford hands

The weakness of the research on developing Marker Based Augmented Reality applications found is using small digital content. Weakness is caused by the area of view of Augmented Reality cameras is limited by the placement of markers that are affordable to the user's hand. This study reproducing large digital objects by cutting large digital objects into many pieces. But to keep continuity accuracy between digital object pieces, this study aims to modify the grid method to become a vertex marker. Vertex marker is produced by removing the edge and using the vertex to place the marker. Vertex markers inherit the advantages of the Grid method. Therefore, vertex markers can be used to reproduce large digital objects accurately and can be reached by hand when displayed. The aim of this study is to measure the accuracy of the grid method that has been modified into a marker. The fundamental contributions and advantages of the vertex marker are innovations in the field of Marker Based Augmented Reality research

A Preliminary Study: Applying Problem-Posing Learning Models on Algorithm and Flowchart Materials in Basic Programming Class

Abstract: We propose the applying of the problem-posing learning model to find out the activities and student learning outcomes in learning algorithm and flowchart material in the basic programming class. This research is a preliminary study that will be used to develop applications/systems/interactive media/games that will support the operation of the problem-posing learning model automatically in the upcoming basic programming class. The classroom action research method was used with the implementation of two cycles involving 38 students in the first semester of vocational high school. The process of applying the problem-posing learning model uses the pre-solution posing type, which requires that each student make a question of the situation that is held, where students are expected to be able to make questions related to questions previously made by the teacher, then exchange the questions to other students to solve them.  The flow of making and solving questions is that students make the main case which then completes it in the form of algorithmic answers and also a flowchart assisted by the Raptor application. By applying the problem-posing learning model, it can be concluded that in cycle 1 and cycle 2 the achievement of learning activities and outcomes tends to be good. The success of this research can provide perspective and guidance for developing basic programming applications/systems/interactive media/games that will instill the problem-posing learning model in the interaction flow and can introduce students early on the problem-posing process
