Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-Batik is part of the art and culture of the nation which has a variety of motifs and meanings that stretch from Sabang to Merauke. Batik is important to learn and inherit from generation to generation. In order to educate batik from an early age, five PKM RSH UNESA students designed the Nusantara E-Batik application.
E-Batik was born from the hands of Aas Nafilah Ilmi from S-1 Social Studies Education, Novan Ari Pradana D-4 Information Management, Moch. Anan Charismadeyanto from S-1 Social Studies Education, Maharani Syahdilla Putri W from S-1 Visual Communication Design, and Ama Fatmala S-1 Social Studies Education.
Aas Nafilah Ilmi, Head of PKM RSH UNESA said that E-Batik was designed using the augmented reality method with the help of combine close as a learning medium or educational facility for various Indonesian batiks. The media, he continued, was developed based on research and has passed the pilot stage and is starting to be used in schools in the city of Surabaya. "If you want to learn batik, various kinds, motifs and meanings from various regions, you can use E-Batik," he said.
E-Batik, he explained, has several main features, ranging from materials, games to information about applications and instructions. The way the application works is quite simple. On the main display, a map of Indonesia appears, which if you click on one of the areas, an icon of a model wearing a typical batik shirt will appear, accompanied by a description of the name of the batik and its philosophy. "The types and meanings of batik from 34 provinces in Indonesia are all in the application," he said.
The visual model of batik is designed based on 3D so that it can be moved, rotated or enlarged with the touch of a finger. In addition, it is also equipped with a 'treat' of 34 folk songs and simple game features in the form of questions and answers and guesswork about Indonesian batik.
In developing the application, the five students received support from PKM RSH funds from the Directorate General of Learning and Student Affairs, Ministry of Education and Culture, RI. E-Batik Nusantara, said Aas Nafila, is here to educate and encourage the nation's children to be interested in learning, understanding and interpreting batik as part of the important heritage of the Indonesian nation. Of course, the hope is not limited to understanding batik as a heritage and a work of art and national culture, but further as local wisdom and inspiration in creating and innovating for generations.
“Outsiders are amazed by our batik, when we are not proud and don't learn about our own batik. Over time, batik can be eroded from the attention of generations if it is not introduced and taught from an early age," he said. He and his friends hope that the educational application about batik can make it easier for teachers to teach and students to learn about Indonesian batik. #FromUNESAForIndonesia. #UNESASatuLangkahDiDi Depan. #KreasiMudaUNESA (UNESA PR)
