Design Elements of Augmented Reality (ZapWorks Workshop)

Open access
This study highlighted augmented reality (AR) design elements utilising the ZapWorks website's AR platform. The fundamental design elements for beginners to get the idea and learn further about augmented reality design. The goal of this research is to raise awareness among educators and students about current technological trends through this ZapWorks workshop. Since it is National Training Week (NTW) events scheduled by the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) and a sub-topic of my PhD dissertation. The research approach included qualitative analysis with a sample of six respondents from Southern University College in Johor Bahru, which includes instructors and students. NVivo instruments were utilised in this investigation to examine codes and nodes such as acceptable, engaging for the future, and simple and easy. The findings demonstrate five essential design elements featured in the ZapWorks Designer platform, including text, buttons, images, video, and 3D models. The results of this AR workshop will instruct educators and design students on how to construct interactive AR that engages with real-world environments in educational institutions. Furthermore, Malaysian educational institutions have begun to incorporate modern technology into educators' lesson plans (Course Learning Outcome, CLO).
