Desarrollo de aplicación movil de visualización holográfica 3D animada del proceso de construcción de seis especies endémicas de la isla San Cristobal mediante papiroflexia texturizada.

Abstract

The following investigation's objective was to develop a mobile application of visualization in 3 D animated holography of the construction process of 6 endemic species of San Cristobal Island through textured origami. The objective analysis of the endemic species of the island was carried out and by means of a documentary and field research, it got information and help from origami experts, also known as "Origami". The chosen species are presented in the application a three-dimensional form, which simulate a stepby- step process of folding using the origami technique. In this way, it can be observed on the screen of a device, how a piece of paper comes to life and turns itself into complex figures of Galápagos endemic animals, while audio provides information about each one. An agile methodology was used for the development of mobile applications composed of five stages: analysis, design, development, testing, and delivery. Through surveys and observation sheets, the validation of the application was achieved with the help of experts from the Ecuadorian Origami Association. The results obtained have allowed concluding that the application presents a utility and satisfaction of 84.3%. These results showed that the incorporation of this holographic visualization technique the learning process and enriches the user experience. In this way, it helps to strengthen manual, social and locomotive skills, strengthening the knowledge of the representative fauna of the Galapagos Islands. It is recommended the use of this technique to designers and artists to show their work in an interactive and dynamic way that manages to capture the interest of the users obtaining favorable results.
