Application and Design of Drama Popular Science Education Using Augmented Reality

Abstract

In the 21st century, the research and development of all kinds of intelligent equipment have become an increasingly important part of people’s daily life. Various emerging technologies are developed based on hardware equipment, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), which fully utilize computer vision technology to accomplish various purposes. Nowadays, it is difficult to carry out opera popular science education in China. Because opera teaching is boring and some traditional opera knowledge is obscure and difficult to understand, it cannot arouse students’ interest in learning. Therefore, this article uses VR technology to stimulate students’ learning initiative and complete drama science popularization education with rich and colorful teaching means. It first briefly introduces the concept and characteristics of AR technology. After that, it establishes an AR-enabled drama application as an education model based on the statistical entity recognition algorithm and designs the drama popular science education app. Besides, it completes the drama animation design, character modeling design, drama scene design, logo pattern design, and animation design. Finally, from the two points of students’ mastery of opera and learning opera knowledge, the actual use effect of this application is analyzed. The results show that this application can help students better learn opera: 42% of students can better master opera singing, 23% of students say they can master other types of opera, 18% of students can better learn and master opera movements and posture, and 10% and 7% of students can master a lot of opera knowledge.
