Implementation of Gamification and Augmented Reality using Marker-Based Method (Case Study: TB Silalahi Center Museum)

Abstract

By utilizing current technological developments, an android application was developed for the TB Silalahi Center Balige Museum with the application of Gamification concepts and Augmented Reality (AR) technology with marker-based methods. The gamification approach was used to provide challenges and rewards since they can encourage someone to accomplish a task, in this case, to find artifact items and information contained in artifact. The utilization of 3D object with a QR Code marker on the artifact also enables the combination of the virtual world and the real world. This application was developed to improve the experience of visitors who come to the Museum, where visitors can carry out activities by playing games and interacting with objects in the museum. The final result of the project is a application with the integration of gamification and storytelling and AR technology. This application was evaluated with the usability testing and user satisfaction reaches 72,23% meaning the application can be used and can well perform its functions.
