AUGMENTED REALITY CHIBI KARAKTER HEWAN MENGGUNAKAN LOW POLY MODELING SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN (Studi Kasus: TK Diponegoro 156 Karanglewas Lor)

The title of the research that is currently done is "Chibi Augmented Reality Animal Character Using Low Poly Modeling as Learning Media". The background of making this application is the presence of learning media will make the learning process more interesting, for example in terms of appearance combined with several images or animation.
