Development of Augmented Reality for Camera Component Recognition in Photography Techniques Based on Android

Abstract

The interactive Android-based media for introducing camera components in photography techniques with the aid of Augmented Reality (AR) is an innovative tool for visualizing a camera and its components through AR technology in the teaching of basic photography, specifically the components of a camera. The integration of AR technology into the learning application aims to help students interact more with the media, have an enjoyable learning experience, and improve their learning outcomes through easier understanding of the material. This AR-based application for learning camera components in photography techniques is built using the Unity engine. The method employed to develop this application is the Research and Development (RnD) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). In this study, the analysis technique used is descriptive quantitative analysis with a four-point Likert scale. Media testing was conducted through feasibility tests by media experts, material experts, and respondents. Based on the results of the descriptive quantitative analysis, the material expert feasibility test yielded a feasibility percentage of 89.28%, which falls under the "excellent" category. The media expert feasibility test resulted in a percentage of 88.23%, also in the "excellent" category, and the respondent test obtained a feasibility percentage of 84.375%, again in the "excellent" category. From these tests, it was concluded that the developed application is suitable and effective for use.
