Development of augmented reality based sun rotation as learning media for hearing impaired students Available to Purchase

Hearing impaired students experience difficulties in speaking development because they are hampered by audio communication. This obstacle requires technology development in the implementation of learning, especially science learning. However, the development of technology that focuses on visuals is underdeveloped in inclusive education. Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the solutions in learning for hearing impaired students. This media displays the sun’s rotation, stimulating students’ visual stimuli in understanding astronomical concepts. The ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) used by researchers can produce an astronomy learning media product. Augmented reality was developed using solar image data taken by telescopes and cameras. Three-dimensional objects in AR can move as a simulated image of the sun’s rotation. The average result of the media feasibility test is 85.44%, with a very decent quality category. Thus, the solar rotation learning media with AR technology for hearing impaired students is suitable for learning.
