Development of 3D Thai Folk Musical Instruments Book using Augmented Reality Technology on Android Operating System

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) design and develop  a 3D Thai folk musical instrument book using augmented reality technology; and 2) to study users’satisfaction  of3D Thai folk musical instruments book. Thai folk musical instruments in 4 regions were simulated which were able to run on Android operating system. The results showed that 1) there were 6 steps in design and development process and 12 models in 3D. Vote model was the fastest marker in all spacing and degrees. 2) The satisfaction study was divided into two groups. 2.1) The results of 7 experts showed that the overall satisfaction level is at the good level, where the average of experts’ satisfaction was 4.33 with standard deviations at 0.46 2.2) The results of 50 users showed that the overall satisfaction level is ‘very good’”where the average of users’ satisfaction was 4.53 with standard deviations at 0.48.
