This article discusses the development of augmented reality (AR) based object identification applications. The purpose of this study is to improve the distribution station component identification workbook. Through the implementation of the developed application, it is assumed that it will be easier to understand the functionality of the components of the distributing station. The augmented reality application was developed for the android platform. The result showed the application of Distributing Station-AR has been developed by applying a marker-based tracking method. The application test has successfully displayed the three-dimension components of distributing station using a marker on the component identification workbook of distributing station. Product performance is known to be very good and product validation is also very good, including material validation, media validation, and first user responses. For further development, this application is expected to add animation of the working principle of AR-based components.

Augmented reality is a technology that combines two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional virtual objects into a real three-dimensional environment and projects those virtual objects in real time. This study was aimed at discussing (1) the development of an instructional media for power system protection learning, especially the fuse cut out, using augmented reality, (2) the appropriateness of the developed media as evaluated by both material and media experts, and (3) the users’ responses toward the developed media. This media was developed using the waterfall model proposed by Pressman, consisting of four main stages: analyzing, designing, coding, and testing. The performance test proved that this media functioned properly (100%). This media was categorized as “highly appropriate” in terms of the materials presented as evaluated by the material experts with a mean score of 96.5 out of 112. Meanwhile, the media was “appropriate” as evaluated by the media experts with a mean score of 68 out of 84. For the end users of this media, 75% of them perceived this media as “highly appropriate”, while the rest considered it as “appropriate”.
