Phase 2: Application Development

Phase 2 is the development process in which the prototype is produce to aid Al-Quran memorization for HI students. mAR-Quran model is a combination of AR Based Content (ARBC) model and Prototype Model, The ARBC model was adapted according to name of phases and four phases were employed which were analysis, determine, produce and use. While for the evaluation phase, the prototype model was assessed to determine users’ satisfaction in using the model. It also follows the prototyping model where each phase is in the sequential order, in which the coming phase can only be executed after the present phase has been completed.

Furthermore, the iterative cycle is embedded in this model to allow the process to repeat. This enables the developers to make changes easily and in accordance with the user requirement.

i. Analysis:

Analysis process is an early process to gather the required information for the development purpose and understand the arising issues. This process is carried out during the preliminary study that occur in phase I.

ii. Determine

In determine process, all the information from previous process is filtered and suitable information are selected. All the software, hardware and application development interface, attributes or criteria is determine and listed in this process to ensure the production of AR application is well develop and run smoothly. To develop the object and AR application, software authoring such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Unity 3D and Vuforia are used. Moreover, as the mAR-Quran application is develop for android platform, the android smartphone or tablet will be used to ensure the compatibility with the operating system. The content of application such as scaffolding, module, color, shape is determine in this process.

iii. Produce

Once the information has been identify, the AR application is develop in this process. A prototype is produce during this process.

iv. Use

Once the users is satisfied with the application, they can use the mAR-Quran application to assist their memorization. This application able to provide the students centered learning by replacing the traditional learning environment with a new independent learning environment. Moreover, the application also can assist in the knowledge retention to enable the users to memorize the verses of surah in the Al-Quran which enable them to arrange the verses of the surah in the correct sequence.

Below are the example of interface:
