Abstract: This capstone project aims to create a visual book with an augmented reality feature and a CMS-based website. The application uses augmented reality technology to track target images on the book and display 3D models and animations of the 30 endangered bird species in the Philippines. To elaborate, when a target image is found, the application will display the 3D model of the bird and two different animations for the user to explore. The application was developed using Vuforia and Unity; the 3D models of the endangered bird species will be modeled and animated using Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, and ZBrush, and the design and layout of the book were created using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. The developed system is one of the first AR books about endangered bird species in the country, attempting to disseminate information and raise awareness about the status of endangered birds using augmented reality. To prove that the application is practical and usable, the researchers surveyed 70 respondents consisting of ten from the client’s organization, 40 from the general public, ten bird lovers, and ten I.T. professionals. Based on the survey results, the system proves to be practical and usable in disseminating information and raising awareness about the status of endangered birds. Future researchers can improve the system by adopting some features and enhancing the application so that users can still utilize the mobile application even without the visual book. The researchers also encourage future researchers to implement the application in other devices with different operating systems, such as iOS and Windows, to cater to a broader range of users.
