CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In an era defined by rapid Technological advancements, the
prevalence of technology permeates all aspects of our daily lives
transforming the way we live, work, and interact. Augmented Reality
is one of the promising of technological innovation . Augmented
reality (AR) is the real-time integration of digital information into the
user's environment. (Gillis,2024). AR applies digital content to real-
world items, leading to an interactive experience that transforms
what users see and perceive. It has the ability to alter the learning
experience by providing various advantages that cater to varied
learning styles and topic matter (AR, EDU, 2023).
Traditional learning, a conventional method of education has
been practiced for centuries. In this learning method, learners are
engaged with educational materials such as textbooks, workbooks,
and lectures. As a result, the learners’ engagement is limited only on
the passive instruction methods. Another concern with traditional
education is the absence of a skill-based and innovative instruction.

In today's world, practically all jobs require creativity, innovative
thinking, adaptability, and practicality, and achieving these criteria is
not feasible with traditional schooling. (21K School,2022).
Based on the problem stated above, the researchers plan to
develop an android application with augmented reality integration.
This application is designed to improve individuals’ way of learning
with the use of augmented reality. It will serve as a learning material
that will transcend the limitations of traditional learning materials. AR
is more engaging and interactive, which helps individuals to retain
information better(Brainsteam, 2024). The Augmented Reality (AR)
offers benefits leading to more engaging and effective education
system (Christi T K, 2023).
The proposed project encompasses the development of an
Augmented Reality application that focuses on learning computer
systems specifically by providing information about the different
types of computer hardware and software. The application also
features interactive 3D models of the object for users to manipulate
and explore the object from different angles. In addition, researchers
apply Agile model of software development life cycle in developing
the application. Furthermore, developers often prefer the Android

platform for application development due to its widespread adoption,
open-source nature, flexible customization options, and access to a
large user base. The most popular mobile OS is Android, and it
became so popular these days. Particularly popular with Android
smartphones are compatible with the majority of the apps in
smartphones without any outside assistance applications.
(John,2022).
Developing an AugemenTech Explorer: Augmented Reality
(AR) for IT Mastery will help transform traditional learning
experiences into immersive and interactive journeys of discovery. In
this project, Individuals who are interested in computer hardware and
software will have opportunities to learn in an interactive and
engaging way. Many individuals will greatly benefit in this project
because the application provides the information about the computer
hardware and software for them to no longer search information
through physical materials . The researchers are driven to develop
this application to lessen the inconvenience in learning computer
hardware and software and also working on this project
improves abilities and capabilities.

friendly and reliable android application. In particular, the current
research intends to respond to the following queries:
1. How to improve the traditional way of learnings?
2. How accurate is the information provided by the developed
application?
3. What are the core features of the system that will answer the user
need requirements?
4. How beneficial is AR INTEGRATION in learning for the end users?

This project encompasses the development of Augmented
Reality application for education intended for individuals who are
interested in computer hardware and software.
This application has its limitations, since it is offline the
application needs to release a new version if there is an update in
the system. It is applicable to Android smartphones and devices that
support augmented reality.
Definition of Terms
Augmented Reality is a technology that overlays digital information
onto the real world. It enhances the user's perception of reality by
blending virtual elements with the physical environment.
Android is a mobile platform operating system developed by
Google, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets.
3D short for three-dimensional, A 3D object is anything that can be
rotated in space, including a planet, a piece of paper, or a human
being. Rather than a flat, two-dimensional plane, 3D objects have
depth.
