Temples are one of the most popular cultural artefacts people visit and interact with. Yet, as of right now, the cultural aspect is rarely disseminated and discussed upon, even at popular ones such as Borobudur and Prambanan. To change this condition, Rachmat Krismono (Archeology), Assajie Satyananda (Archeology) and Tommy Wahyu (Computer Science), created an app to enable visitors to understand temple reliefs, called Nirbana.
The Nirbana app, available on the Play Store, utilized SpeedUp Robust Feature, Historical K-means and Augmented Reality to enable visitors to see and access information on the reliefs just by pointing their smartphone cameras to the reliefs.
This innovation has been funded by DIKTI, and has been exhibited at Margono Building’s corridors on the 2st floor on June 26-28, 2019. This exhibiton is held in conjunction with the exhibition of Arca Heads of Borobudur, held by the Archeology Graduate Programme of FIB UGM.
