CREATING EDUCATIONAL MEDIA WITH WEBXR VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY FOR 3D CHARACTER LOCOMATION

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) Develop digital learning resources for training 3D character motion skills using WebXR technology. 2) Evaluate knowledge in 3D character motion design skills through virtual reality simulations. Digital learning resources for training 3D character motion skills using WebXR technology were developed and tested with a sample group of 52 multimedia technology students.

The research findings indicate a positive correlation between the developed system and teaching 3D character motion design. Unlike traditional teaching methods using only images or videos, the digital learning media developed employ 3D motion graphics and audio narration. The 3D model design utilizes character models that can move freely in various poses of the Walk Cycle process, allowing for better understanding of bone and joint movement. Furthermore, the development of digital learning media that can interactively respond to learners with accompanying audio narration stimulates continuous learning among multimedia technology students, enhancing their interest in learning. Pre-learning and post-learning assessments of the students yielded average scores of 12.15 and 21.88, respectively. A statistically significant difference in scores before and after learning was found at the .05 significance level, with a test value of 20.06.
