Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Augmented Reality (AR) is a project designed to use the latest technology to educate the mass population. The aim is to use modern interactive methods to immerse the audience into interacting with various AR Markers to view 3D educational information at the comfort of their room. Using Augmented Realtiy, we allow MHA to provide realistic education without the need to setup a mock up environment, which will incur more cost, hassle, manpower and potentially safety hazards during actual demonstrations.
To traditionally demonstrate an Anti-Riot scenario, a lot of manpower and resources are required to pull off a convincing re-enactment such as a dozen of Anti-Riot officers, a couple of Anti-Riot vehicles, a few people to fake a riot crowd and some flammable materials to make the scenario realistic. When you put all these factors together, there is always a slight chance of safety hazard.
However, using Augmented Reality, users can view a virtual demonstration at the comfort of their room with no safety hazard on both the viewers and the demonstrators, and even interact with the AR marker to determine if they want the Anti-Riot team to perform crowd-dispersing methods and observe the different scenario possibilities.
