The document presents a final year project proposal to develop an augmented reality mobile application presenting the history of Malacca using 3D animations. The project aims to make history learning more engaging for students. It will develop a prototype AR storybook application containing 3D animated content based on a history textbook chapter. The application will be tested with primary school students and teachers. It will be created using Unity and Vuforia and contain marker-based AR. Literature on existing AR storybook apps and the use of AR in education is reviewed to inform the project design.

LITERATURE REVIEW

11. AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNIQUE
a) Marker-Based
Marker-Based AR is technology uses the camera in AR device to
produce a result. QR and 2D are the examples of the visual marker. The
users get the result when camera reader senses the marker.
b) Marker-Less
Marker-Less AR is the only type of AR technology which does not
use any kind of recognition system and hence it does not require
augmentation.

Language
• During this Visual Studio are defined to make an animation for the
modeling using JavaScript language. It has a hyperlink with Unity Software
to bring an interactive approach.

27. Unity
• To build the application that are combined from Vuforia and Java SDE.
• Modeling from Autodesk Maya and catch it in Unity to make it physically
appearance.
• Need to build it with Android Studio using APK file.

28. PHASE 3 : POST-PRODUCTION
• Built APK file
• Test run project
