Training on the Use of Augmented Reality Technology for UMKM Actors of Tirta Agung Tourism Sukosari Bondowoso

Abstract

Village tourism is one of the villages that is now starting to attract tourists because it has an attraction that is considered unique because it is closer to various fields, both culture, economy and natural resources. Tirta Agung Tourism itself is one of the tourist destinations located in Sukosari Kidul Village, Sumberwiringin District, Bondowoso Regency. The tour, which was inaugurated on April 13, 2019, presents natural scenery and mountains in the village accompanied by several gazebos, pavilions and swimming pools that make interesting treats and are in great demand by tourists both domestic and from outside the city. Ecotourism revitalization is an effort to change the atmosphere of a dirty village into a tourist village. The method used is direct observation, analyzing needs and managing data to produce publications by utilizing augmented reality technology using marker-based AR requires special visual objects and cameras to mark them. This visual object has various forms such as QR codes or symbols. The AR device will calculate its position so that it is easy to determine the location of the content. Furthermore, the marker brings up a digital animation so that users can see it. The use of markerless AR is quite extensive, using GPS technology, digital compasses and speed meters. All of these tools are embedded in AR devices to adjust data based on the user's location. This technology is able to help publicize Tirta Agung tours with accurate updates, so that the wider community can easily obtain the latest information.
