DeColourAR: A MULTI-MARKERS INTERACTION AUGMENTED REALITY CHILDREN DIGITAL ASTRONOMY COLOURING LEARNING BOOK

Abstract

With advancement of technology, Augmented Reality (AR) has come into picture to be implemented into educational purpose for assisting children in their learning process. In this project, an interactive real time Astronomy digital colouring tool, named DeColourAR using AR technology has been developed to provide a more interactive and interesting real time colouring environment for children. Besides, it also helps children to visualize abstract Astronomy concept while learning thus improve their colouring skills. This DeColourAR allows children to view the information that they colour including the animated 3D models based on their colour choices. Since children often face problems in visualizing the colouring of the objects, especially to understand Astronomy concepts which are abstract and not visible in our daily life, hence this real time interactive AR colouring tool has its own potential in aiding learning processes of children because of its characteristic which allows user to visualise an object in 3D space.
