Description:	Paper maps have been used by tourists for centuries. They help to facilitate directions and provide information to tourists and locals, who may need to look up unfamiliar buildings while visiting a town or a city. However, without detailed 3D building models, users may miss important turns at some intersections and have problems finding the target buildings. Thus, the main objectives of the research conducted involved two aspects: to design and develop mobile augmented reality maps for tourists by integrating paper maps with 3D modeling; and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the mobile augmented reality map application (MAR-M). The methodology on the development of MAR-M was based on the Iterative-Simulative Software Development Life Cycle Methodology for Augmented Reality (I-SSDLC-AR) (Parhizkar & Badioze Zaman, 2009). The I-SSDLC-AR development methodology is a systematic process which incorporates the standard five processes: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation in a four-phased model namely: Analysis, Systems Design and Architecture, Development and Formative Testing and Implementation and Evaluation. The Simple User Acceptance Test was conducted based on a case study to identify the strengths and weaknesses of MAR-M using four constructs as follows: Learnability, Effectiveness, Ease of Use and Satisfaction of users on MAR-M. Based on interviews conducted on ten experts, it indicates that the combination of paper maps and mobile devices was an appropriate solution to solve the problems faced by tourists on finding target destinations and buildings. In this research, normal paper maps were integrated with 3D modeling of appropriate buildings using mobile augmented reality technology. This research also applied the use of a mobile camera unit to augment the paper maps directly with 3D modeling of buildings inserted in the real world coordinate. The use of tangible user interface (TUI), in the form of markers was designed to track the paper maps which can precisely highlight points of interests to tourists. Findings of the research showed that high resolution and large scale paper maps could be augmented with digital 3D content through a mobile device. Generally, findings of the user evaluation conducted on the strengths and weaknesses of the application found that samples were positive on the use of the mobile augmented reality maps (MAR-M). However, the weakness of MAR-M was that it could only be conducted on specific models of mobile devices.,Master / Sarjana
