Abstract

The development of information and communication technology in the current globalization has been very rapid especially among the general public. One of them is augmented relity  technology that is very developed as an application in the field of promotion and sales. Augmented relity  itself is one of the technologies in object recognition in the field of multimedia. Augmented relity  is a merger between two worlds, namely the virtual world into the real world, in other words objects in the virtual world we can display to the real world. The application of the concept of Augmented relity  can increase the effectiveness and recognition of an object to be interesting. The recognition of an object by means of ordinary 2-dimensional images as a promotional medium, considered unattractive and does not utilize developing technology. In this case, the object introduced by Augmented relity  technology is a typical food area of Sumatra, including North Sumatra, South Sumatra and West Sumatra. Because in this day and age the introduction of regional specialties is less known by the people of Indonesia. Therefore, researchers created "Sumatran Food Introduction Media Using Android-Based Augmented relity  Technology". This introductory media will be designed using 3D Unity Software and the process will run through android smartphones. On the smartphone will be made an application called Regional Special Foods.
