Development of the Phra Suthon Manorah Application with Augmented Reality Technology on the Android Operating System

Abstract

The purposes of the research were 1) to study context and synthesis the guidelines for developing the local folktale animation of Phra Suthon Manorah, 2) to develop the Application of Phra Suthon Manorah with Augmented Reality Technology on the Android Operating system, 3) to investigate the quality of the Application of Phra Suthon Manorah, and 4) to study the participants’ satisfaction to the Application of Phra Suthon Manorah. The sample groups were  1) 9 experts who assessed the appropriateness, and 2) 60 students who were the participants. shown the satisfaction. The instruments were 1) the Application of Phra Suthon Manorah, 2) the assessment form, 3) the satisfaction assessment form. The statistic used were the average and standard deviation.

The results shown that; 1) The experts agree that way to develop the local folktales animation was using 3D animation through the augmented reality technology (AR) which using the folktales book as the marker in order to support reading for the youth. 2) There were 2 parts of the result; a storytelling of Phra Suthon Manorah (Marker) which divided into 6 pages, and    2) the Application of Phra Suthon Manorah which presented through 3D animation on smartphones. 3) The experts’ assessment result was at the highest level ( = 4.57, S.D. = 0.50) . 4) The satisfaction from the participants to the Application of Phra Suthon Manorah was at the highest level ( = 4.63, S.D. = 0.48).
