Design and development of seal engraving learning application based on augmented reality

The Chinese seal engraving as a world intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has caused the younger generation of learners to face problems such as a lack of motivation to learn. Learning in conjunction with digital technology is an emerging means of sustaining the transmission and development of these cultures. This chapter was dedicated to developing and designing an augmented reality-based application for learning Chinese seal engraving (AR-CSE). The ADDIE instructional design model was used as the main strategy for developing and evaluating this application for this study. Content and instructional design experts were employed to conduct internal evaluations of the AR-CSE. Usability testing of the AR-CSE was carried out by the target learners to assess the quality of the application. The evaluation results show that the learning content and usability of AR-CSE are recognized by experts and users. The significance of this study is that AR-CSE combined with augmented reality technology has injected new vitality into the inheritance and learning of ICH.
