Media Pengenalan Ruma Bolon Menggunakan Teknologi Augmented Reality Berbasis Android

Abstract

Ruma Bolon is a traditional Batak house that holds significant historical and cultural value, which is crucial to preserve. However, Ruma Bolon has become increasingly rare, leading to a decline in public knowledge and understanding of this traditional house. In this study, the Waterfall method is employed for the development of the Ruma Bolon introduction application. The Waterfall method's sequential stages, including requirement analysis, design, program implementation, testing, and maintenance, are applied to ensure a structured and systematic application development process. By leveraging Android-based AR technology, the Ruma Bolon introduction application offers an engaging and interactive three-dimensional visualization experience for users. Users can explore detailed 3D models of Ruma Bolon, including its structure and ornamental elements, which are conventionally challenging to comprehend through pictures or descriptions.
