Riandana Afira’s research while affiliated with Universitas Putra Indonesia "YPTK" and other places

This research is the development of one technology called Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality works by combining the real world with the virtual world to produce information to users. The tourism object of West Sumatra has quite promising potential, but the potential is still covered by weak management and promotion that are still not sufficient. This study seeks to create an Android-based Augmented Reality application to introduce tourism objects in West Sumatra with a focus on early development on tourism objects in the Clock Tower in Bukittinggi and Carocok Beach in the south coast. The results of this study make Augmented Reality technology a more innovative and attractive promotional media so that it can increase tourist interest to visit the tourism object.
