Learning Media Application about Covid-19 with Augmented Reality Technology

ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic has given many changes to aspects of human life. The spread also occurs quickly and to all groups. Therefore, social interaction must be reduced, especially outdoor activities where many people can meet. To reduce the chain of the spread of Covid-19, education is needed regarding coronavirus and how to prevent Covid-19. Education is intended for the wider community including children. Providing education will be carried out through an application containing information about Covid-19 and how to prevent it. Children will be our main target in carrying out this education. They need to get adequate education so that they can easily understand and participate in efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19 which has been proclaimed by the government. This application will take advantage of the technology Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality is a combination of technology between the real world and the virtual world that is presented in the real world so that it can be felt directly in the real world. The way AR works in the application is by pointing the camera through the application towards the poster provided by the application, then it will display a Covid-19 prevention pop-up containing an animated video. By utilizing AR technology and animated videos on Covid-19 prevention measures, children will find it easier to understand and apply them. © 2022 IEEE.
