Abstract
This work focuses on developing and researching the potential of hybrid application with speech and augmented reality technology to solve the problem that found in Sabah tourism industry. Tourism in Sabah, Malaysia in fact has been growing rapidly and becoming one of the most important industry in Sabah. Although tourism in Sabah is growing steadily, there are some problems found within the industry especially in term of technology advancement. First problem that found by the researcher is there still a few numbers of applications has been developed for Sabah Tourism. Second, lack of interaction between tourists and tourism place such as Museum Sabah, Mount Kinabalu and so on. There are two objectives involve in this research. First objective is to develop a prototype of speech AR application based on Sabah tourism industry. This include the information of the tourism places and 3D virtual object that represent the environment and landscape of tourism places in Sabah. Second objective is to evaluate the potential of developed prototype for Sabah tourism industry. To achieve the second objective, semi-structured interview was conducted to evaluate the potential of the hybrid application. The potential of application with speech and augmented reality technology determined based on the response from participants that involved in an interview. A great potential of an application can be concluded if positive response acquires from the participants.
