INTERACTIVE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE: ACEHNESE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING RECOGNITION USING AUGMENTED REALITY
Abstract
This research aims to address the lack of reference information on traditional Indonesian clothing, particularly focusing on Acehnese traditional clothing, which possesses diverse motifs and patterns across different districts in Aceh, Indonesia. The dearth of knowledge regarding the various traditional Acehnese attire highlights the need for interactive and engaging media platforms to introduce and preserve this cultural heritage effectively. In response to the rapid growth of information and communication technology, this study proposes the utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) technology to create an innovative cultural recognition medium for Acehnese traditional clothing.
The significance of AR technology in diverse fields, such as gaming, entertainment, education, and healthcare, is well-established. However, its application in cultural recognition media remains relatively unexplored. This research addresses this gap by leveraging markerless AR technology, which offers advantages over traditional marker-based AR technology. By utilizing markerless AR technology, this application aims to overcome limitations and enhance the interactive experience for users while exploring and learning about Southeast Acehnese traditional clothing.
The research entails the development of an AR-based application that showcases 3D representations of Acehnese traditional clothing, specifically from the Southeast Aceh region. Through this application, users will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a virtual environment that accurately reflects the richness and diversity of Acehnese cultural attire. By presenting information through an interactive and engaging medium, the application seeks to captivate the audience's interest and foster a deeper appreciation for Acehnese traditional clothing.
The outcome of this research is expected to contribute significantly to cultural preservation and recognition efforts, providing a novel and accessible platform for individuals to explore and appreciate the beauty of Acehnese heritage. Furthermore, this study paves the way for future applications of AR technology in cultural preservation and educational endeavors, extending its potential impact beyond the scope of traditional clothing to various other aspects of cultural heritage.
