A Design Research Perspective on Exploring Interactive Augmented Reality Children's Illustration Books in Macau: Case Study - Macau Temple Legends

This project represents a comprehensive study of an interactive picture book employing augmented reality (AR) technology, focusing on the narratives of the A-Ma Temple and Nezha Temple in Macau. The target audience comprises children aged 6-9 years to enhance their concentration on aesthetic development and deepen their understanding of Macau's historical and cultural heritage. The study resulted in the creating of a picture book that integrates an interactive AR experience, resulting in highly satisfactory user feedback. The findings suggest the potential for further development of interactive picture books as a valuable medium for disseminating Macanese culture. Future efforts should prioritise continuous attention to user feedback and the AR technology's stability to ensure the work's long-term effectiveness and impact.
