This study aims to test students' understanding of the subjects studied during the period of their studies at UniKL MIIT. Students of Bachelor of Multimedia Technology (Hons) in Interactive Multimedia Design are required to develop projects that relate to their field of study such as video, animation, web, interactive CD, game design, 3D applications and others that is appropriate. Therefore, I have chosen to develop " Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality" as my Final Year Project. " Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality” is application of current/existing interactive application of Augmented Reality learning. Unlike the created with of existing interactive application of Augmented Reality(AR), this is the first application of AR that provide a sounds in Malaysia ." Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality" Build to develop and improvise methods of learning JAWI. It is anticipated that this new method is to attract the kids attention towards learning Jawi for recognizing the Jawi alphabets and how to pronounce the Jawi alphabets. This application is an innovation in learning Jawi and expected to be a success in the market, for entrepreneur and multimedia developer. The book come with special marker (AR Tag) in 30 Jawi alphabets for the 3D to appear in augmented version. 14 ABSTRAK Kajian ini direkabentuk untuk memenuhi keperluan Projek Tahun Akhir sebelum saya mengakhiri pengajian di UniKL MIIT pada November 2011. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menguji kefahaman pelajar terhadap matapelajaran yang telah dipelajari selama tempoh pengajian di UniKL MIIT. Siswa-siswa Ijazah Teknologi Multimedia (Kepujian) dalam Rekabentuk Multimedia Interaktif dikehendaki membangunkan projek yang berkaitan dengan kursus yang dipelajari seperti video, animasi, web, CD interaktif, “game design”, aplikasi 3D dan lain-lain yang bersesuaian. Oleh itu, saya telah memilih untuk menghasilkan “Huruf-huruf Jawi dalam Bentuk ‘Augmented Reality’” sebagai Projek Tahun Akhir saya. " Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality” adalah aplikasi yang terbaru yang interaktif untuk sesi pembelajaran pada masa kini. Dalam banyak aplikasi “Augmented Reality” aplikasi kami adalah yang pertama menyediakan “Augmented Reality” bersuara di dalam Malaysia. ." Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality"dibina untuk membangunkan kaedah pembalajaran Jawi. Dijangka ini adalah kaedah baru untuk menarik perhatian kanak-kanak kea rah pembelajaran Jawi yang terancang dan bagaimana memberi sebutan Makhraj yang betul. Aplikasi ini adalah satu inovasi dalam pembelajaran Jawi dan dijangka dapat dipasarkan dipasaran kepada usahawan dan pemaju multimedia. Buku ini didatangkan khas dengan kad istimewa (AR Tag) bersama 30 huruf jawi bagi menunjukkan 3D dalam versi “augmented”. 15 CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Definition “ Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality” is an augmented reality application develops by Farah Zafirah Binti Ahmad in order to fulfill the requirement for Final Year Project before completing her degree in Bachelor of Multimedia Technology (Hons) in Interactive Multimedia Design at Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Information Technology (UniKL MIIT). “ Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality ” is developed for kids 4-9 years old. This applications is build to teach student and improve their knowledge about Jawi and know the correct pronunciations of each alphabet. “ Jawi Alphabets in Augmented Reality ” is an enhancement from current/existing learning method. Most existing learning methods were using the traditional method such as book and CD. Previous application were developed in Augmented Reality, with combination of the reality world and 3D visual. Apart from that, researcher decided to develop an Augmented Reality application with additional method for kindergarten/secondary school student that has a combination of the Reality world, 3D model and Audio which it more interactive and can attract and motivate students to learn Jawi.
