Development of Android-based Solar System Interactive Learning Application Using Augmented Reality with Unity and Blender
Abstract
Abstract: This research aims to develop Augmented Reality (AR) based applications to support interactive solar system learning. In the era of rapid technological development, learning can be enhanced through 3D illustrations that are more interesting and immersive for students. AR is one of the technologies that can be applied in the development of educational applications, allowing visualization of the solar system in three-dimensional form. The methodology used in this research is Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC). This AR development was developed using Blender and Unity Game Engine software. Blender is used to create 3D models of solar system objects such as planets, sun, and satellites. Meanwhile, Unity Game Engine is used to integrate the object model into Android-based applications and add interactive elements based on Augmented Reality. The result of this research is an AR-based interactive application that serves as an innovative learning media. The results showed that: (1) AR-based Android applications can be used flexibly anytime and anywhere, and are equipped with animations, 3D, and 2D images to enhance the learning experience; (2) The developed product has been validated and declared suitable for testing. With this application, it is hoped that students can find it easier and more enjoyable to learn about the solar system through interactive 3D visualization.
