Abstract The utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) in industrial transformation is very well aligned with the fourth industrial revolution’s values. AR innovation can improve the perceptual knowledge of humans and enable us to communicate with a large amount of data. Therefore, this project takes the opportunity to create an AR healthcare app related to the human heart. The scopes are focusing on the human heart and provide information about the heart to the public besides improving their knowledge. Society nowadays is less concerned about heart health. There is a lot of information about the heart in newspapers, televisions and social media but most of the public still ignore it. Therefore, the information needs to deliver attractively. AR technology will be one of the interesting ways to spread information. The main goal is to provide information about the human heart in an AR environment. The other goals are to provide exposure for the users on how the insides of the human heart work and to make the users familiarize themselves with AR technologies. By using Unity and Vuforia Software Development Kit (SDK), this application lets users easily scan the provided marker anywhere and anytime using their smartphone to see the virtual heart.
