Implementation of Augmented Reality Technology in the Design of the Kaswari Elok 87 Ship as a Tourism Vessel in the Sea Area of West Papua

Introduction

Implementation of augmented reality technology in the design of the kaswari elok 87 ship as a tourism vessel in the sea area of west papua. Implement Augmented Reality (AR) for interactive visualization of the Kaswari Elok 87 tourism ship in West Papua. Experience realistic 3D interior/exterior designs, enhancing engagement & understanding.

Abstract

The lack of interactive visualization media in presenting tourism transportation information in West Papua has become an obstacle in attracting interest and understanding among potential users. This study implements augmented reality (AR) technology to present the interior and exterior design of the MV Kaswari Elok 87 ship in an interactive and realistic manner. AR technology enables detailed visualization of the ship without the need for a physical model, thereby facilitating the design presentation process. The application was developed using Unity 3D and tested on two Android devices. The results show that the system can display the ship model stably with optimal performance at a distance of 20–190 cm and a 360° viewing angle, achieving an average frame rate of 33 FPS. Keywords: augmented reality, image processing, marker detection, rendering

Review

This paper, "Implementation of Augmented Reality Technology in the Design of the Kaswari Elok 87 Ship as a Tourism Vessel in the Sea Area of West Papua," addresses a pertinent challenge in enhancing tourism promotion and design communication within the region. The authors identify a significant obstacle in the form of a lack of interactive visualization media for presenting tourism transportation information, which demonstrably limits engagement and understanding among potential users. By proposing and implementing Augmented Reality (AR) technology, the study offers an innovative and highly relevant approach to showcase complex designs, such as the MV Kaswari Elok 87 ship, in an accessible and engaging manner. This work is particularly timely given the growing demand for immersive experiences in both design review processes and modern tourism marketing strategies. The methodological approach detailed in the abstract outlines the development of an AR application utilizing Unity 3D, a robust and widely adopted platform for interactive 3D content, deployed on Android devices. This selection of technology demonstrates a practical and accessible strategy for creating interactive design presentations. The study’s core achievement lies in enabling detailed and interactive visualization of the ship’s interior and exterior without the necessity of physical prototypes, thereby significantly streamlining and enhancing the design presentation process. Crucially, the reported results indicate a stable system performance, with the ship model displaying optimally within a broad viewing range (20–190 cm and a 360° angle) and maintaining an average frame rate of 33 FPS. These technical performance metrics are vital indicators of a smooth and immersive user experience, which is paramount for effective design communication and fostering user interest. This research offers a compelling demonstration of AR's practical potential in bridging the gap between intricate design concepts and public understanding or stakeholder engagement. Its primary strength lies in providing a tangible, interactive, and realistic visualization tool that significantly enhances the design presentation process for specialized assets like tourism vessels. While the abstract effectively highlights the technical implementation and performance, future work could productively expand to include comprehensive user experience evaluations to quantitatively measure the impact on user interest and understanding. Overall, this paper presents a well-executed and highly relevant application of augmented reality, delivering a stable and effective solution for interactive ship design presentation in the context of tourism, thereby making a valuable contribution to both the field of AR applications and tourism technology.
