Integrating Augmented Reality in Learning Plants

Abstract

Abstract Malaysia’s biodiversity forests are producing numerous species of plants. Books, picture walls, posters, and brochures often use to display these plants’ static images to promote these wilderness treasures. Though the use of these static images fits its purpose, they are less attractive in providing information. ARPlant prototype provides an interactive application that enhances rainforest plants’ information displayed using the mobile platform. We use the Mobile Application Development Lifecycle (MADLC) to design and develop ARPlant. We gauge potential users’ requirements and needs by conducting a survey. We then conduct the user testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) score. The augmented reality in ARPlant allows users to learn by interactively exploring rainforest plants. Users can view the plants in a 3-dimensional environment.
