Development of Edutainment Content for Elementary School Using Mobile Augmented Reality

Recently, the movement to bring digital technology inside school environment as learning media has been increased. In this paper, we complement one of the digital technologies with conventional edutainment tool. Together with our research partner, we developed digital edutainment content that combines Augmented Reality (AR) technology with tangram toy. This AR technology was built on the latest mobile device, iPad2. Through this paper, we report one of the promising digital edutainment content that able to increase the excitement of this new learning environment. The usage of mobile device in this AR project offer two benefits, namely mobility beneficial and easiness-to-use beneficial. Beside that, the colorful markers in this project able to attract children attentions without losing tracking robustness ability
