Design and Implementation of Auxiliary Application of Middle School Geography Textbook Based on Augmented Reality Technology

In order to overcome the problems of the poor three-dimensional display effect and weak interaction of traditional middle school geography textbook, an auxiliary application for middle school geography textbooks based on augmented reality technology (AR) was designed. Application according to the teaching content in the middle school geography textbook, based on augmented reality technology, the Unity3D game engine and 3D modeling software are used to combine 3D models, animations and videos with the pictures and text in the geography textbook to achieve the integration of virtual and reality. After downloading the application through mobile devices, students scan the illustrations in the textbooks, watch the displayed 3D models and animations, and interact with the displayed UI interfaces and models, so as to intuitively understand geographic knowledge, improve learning efficiency, and cultivate learning interest. The AR geography textbook auxiliary application also adds AR virtual button interaction and 360° panoramic interaction in the interactive design, which enriches the interactive functions of the AR geography textbook auxiliary application. Through investigation and research, the application of geography teaching in middle school is helpful to improve students’ learning enthusiasm. However, there are still problems with higher application design and development requirements and greater difficulty in teaching management, and further exploration and research are needed.
