Recent advances have shown, that the base technology of augmented reality have matured the point of being usable only by specialists. But existing augmented reality applications are still prototypes. They are developed without any authoring system, only by software experts. To support the wide use of augmented reality technology, the designers of augmented reality application need methods and software tools to create the contents in a fast and cheap way. In this paper we describe an authoring system for creating augmented reality content in an easy and user friendly way. The system allows the creation of augmented reality applications in a straight forward way. By using meta-constructs like menus, selection lists or hotspots as well as illustration objects like 3D-models, videos, texts and sounds a variety of applications can be created without previous technological knowledge. A preview window is also part of the authoring system displaying the actual created AR-application.

Augmented reality technology is very important in visualizing real objects or concepts. The advancement of computing equipment enables 3D modelling to be performed virtually with relatively easy processes. The appearance of 3D models in virtual is very interesting because it can be combined with interactive multimedia applications so that users can control the course of the application as needed. This augmented reality application has been through process testing, system testing on different mobile devices, and marker testing. The results of process testing indicate that every process on the application goes according to existing model design. Test results show that applications created using the library vuforia and Unity can run well. High school students show that as many as 84.6% who agree with using this application is more interesting than the usual method of learning so as to be able to recognize compound bonding using this application well.

Learning media are all things that can be used to channel messages and stimulate the learning process for students. Learning machine of two-wheeled vehicles in SMK YPT 2 Purbalingga is still using Ms. Powerpoint as a learning medium. In one of the subjects that discussed the partitioning machine parts, how to work a motorcycle engine and troubleshooting the machine parts as well as how to repair or replace spare parts, students felt the use of Ms. media. Powerpoint is less interesting and difficult to understand the material. Educators also see students tend to get bored easily when learning so that they need other alternatives as a learning medium. For that reason, the writer applies a markerless augmented reality technology as a medium for learning two-wheeled vehicles to help as well as learning media for students, the method used is MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Cycle). This research produces an augmented reality application that helps visualize motorcycle engines in the form of 3D models for vocational students.

Abstract. The use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology is widespread in countless archaeological sites and a variety of applications. Archaeological excavations lead to archaeological finds, some of which are transported for preservation and then for exhibition in museums (jewelry, vases, etc.), while another part of them is documented in detail and remains in situ (eg building walls), roads, grave covers, etc.). However, after the registration of the archaeological finds, it is impossible to observe them. As part of our research project, we will develop for the first time AR methodology and procedures for the observation of covered archaeological finds on mobile devices (smart phones, tablets), which were registered after their documentation. AR technology in recent years has seen great growth in terms of implementation platforms and available software, as well as the tools developed to support it. These tools either make their appearance in the form of frameworks, extending the capabilities of an existing engine, or function as independent services. At the same time, progress has been made in the field of sensors of mobile devices, which makes the compatibility of hardware and software another issue to be researched. As part of the development of the above application for mobile devices, an evaluation is made of the most widespread AR Frameworks that support the Unity3d Game Engine and the compatibility / interoperability with the sensors of different categories of mobile devices. The frameworks were checked and evaluated for placement and tracking of the positions of the 3D covered objects. In this paper also, methodologies and techniques used in space detection and tracking are presented and evaluated.

Lab orientation is a vital part of learning for new students entering the university, as it provides the students with all the necessary and important information about the lab. The current orientation is manual, tedious, suffers from logistical constraints, lacks engagement, and provides no way to assess that outcomes have been achieved. This is also supported by the results of a student survey which revealed students’ dissatisfaction with current process of orientation. This study presents the design and development of a sample augmented reality mobile application, AR-LabOr, for the lab orientation that helps students in a quick and easy adaptation to the lab environment by familiarizing them with the lab equipment, staff, and safety rules in a fun and interactive manner. This application makes use of marker-less augmented reality technology and a blend of multimedia information such as sound, text, images, and videos that are superimposed on real-world contents. An experiment with 56 students showed that they found the novel method of orientation using the application more engaging than the traditional instructor-led method. Students also found the application to be more supportive, motivating, and that it helped them in better understanding the lab equipment.
