Abstract

Nowadays, marriage at young age has become a common scene in our community. They are the generation that have been exposed to the computing and internet technology since they are very young. Hence, they prefer all the information to be easily accessed at the tip of their fingers and at the comfort of their home. These information need also to be presented in an attractive and interactive manner in order to keep them interested to read about it. These young married couples will eventually have their own babies in their young age too. Although they can get the information regarding pregnancy through books, brochures and online articles, they would find that reading through these materials is tedious and majority of them will not read the same materials again and again. Pregnancy Alpha-Omega, a marker-based mobile application that utilizes the Augmented Reality technology has been designed and developed to deliver the knowledge on pregnancy to the parents, especially the Gen-Y parents. Augmented Reality is an advanced technology that overlays a 3D information, which in these project, unborn babies models onto the real-life environment by scanning the respective markers. For this project, the markers are brochures that can also be read physically if the user does not have any smart devices. The AR technology aimed to deliver the knowledge regarding pregnancy to the young parents in an attractive way to make them interested to use it again and again. Current developed product has completed the month-to-month visualization of an unborn baby development inside the mother’s womb. Future development may include fixing the known weaknesses as well as adding more contents and interactivity to the product.
