Implementing Augmented Reality as a Digital Props of Brain Anatomy using 3D Cuboid Tracker

Abstract

Augmented Reality may propose several advantages over the conventional method as a teaching aid, including in learning brain anatomy in health education. To gives an alternative to the typical props, and we proposed a learning aid in the form of AR mobile application where a student can hold and observe the human brain in the form of a 3D digital props. By utilizing the 3D cuboid tracker, the proposed system offers an affordable digital prop and yet allow natural handling of the object, which gives a new learning experience. Through performance testing, we found how the device specifications' may slightly affect the proposed system performance. However, through a usability testing, the proposed system and method is preferred over other methods such as a book, information on the screen, and 2D AR object. This research shows the proposed system and method have a lot of potential in aiding much more interactive and stimulating learning activities.
