with the increase of mobile device usage around the globe, face-to-face communication has degraded and complete prohibition is not realistic. The degradation is not to be prevented as it happens as a side effect of technology. However, balancing usage of mobile device and quality of face-to-face communication is possible. Thus, by approaching users through developing a party genre mobile game, which is not famous as a mobile game at the time, with local multiplayer focus and introducing the given game to users, it is expected that face-to-face communication can be encouraged, thus resulting in mobile party game to become a media for the encouragement. Sample mini game that is a part of party game is developed with the help of Unity game engine as a testing object in which user response is collected. As application testing take place, and target user response is collected, face-toface encouragement is proven and user response is positive towards the game. Sample game testing has effectively reintroduced the existence of nowadays rare party game in mobile platform along with encouraging face-to-face communication, shown by the enthusiasm and enjoyment that audience testers have experienced. In the end, with mobile party game can help by being a media to encourage face-to-face communication and prevent degradation of such communication, future developments of a complete party game in mobile platform is highly encouraged as overall face-to-face communication quality enhancement may be required in the future in order to mitigate degradation.

Jakarta has 62 well-maintained museums but most are still conventional in the way that they mostly display objects or collections with accompanying written information and interactive media is still very limited.[1] In Indonesia, museum curators and managers need to be more creative in presenting objects and information to increase the number of visitors [2].The difficulty of luring visitors to museums has even became a national issue and problem:[1] the Indonesian government considers it as a matter that needs to be addressed. [3, 4] In 2010, the Association of Museums in Indonesia (AMI) and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy declared it the Year of Visiting the Museum [5] as part of the National Movement to Love Museums, which lasted until 2014 [1]. The strategic efforts from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy were then followed up with the introduction of national programs such as Revitalizing Indonesian Museum [5]. Museums should be a place to enhance the learning experience, sharing knowledge, as well as a place to study and conduct research [5]. Here, the museum is required not only as a means of public learning, but must also be able to support the development of study centers in universities [5]. Therefore, adding interactive media using Augmented Reality to Indonesian museums will increase the interest in learning about the local culture and heritage of Indonesia among the Indonesian population, especially students.

The main purpose of creating this platform is to design a solution for helping engineers to be exposed to the ever-rising job market, while providing a streamlined solution to help companies administer programming challenges in a form of a Hackathon. The platform includes a social media web application along with, a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that supports the hosting and publication of various kinds of web applications with different technology stacks. The solution tries to address the problem of overreliance of companies in competitive programming contests as the barometer of whether a candidate is qualified for a job. The research is focused on the design and development of a complete system, which can be hosted on the PaaS. The proposed solution utilizes Ruby on Rails and React for the client application, along with the deployment of a cluster of CoreOS computers used to deploy user-generated application in a performant and scalable manner. The application interactions are reduced to API call, as an adherence to micro services-based architecture to improve horizontal scalability. The application has succeeded in fulfilling all the presented requirements, with a performance that is comparably better than conventional architectural designs.

One common unimodal human-computer interface is via a formal and discrete behavior on physical or virtual button clicks. That method may not be convenient for some people with knowledge or physical limitations. The raise for more pervasive, subtly blending computers in daily tasks may also find the method to be unnatural and inconvenient. Combination of modalities, or multimodal interaction is suggested to have advantages over unimodal input. Synergic multiple input and output modal is more expressive and natural. Specifically, studies have suggested that a combination of speech and gesture is preferred as being more effective and natural than speech or gesture alone. There are many successful approaches in providing robust gesture-only and speech-only interfaces, however, under extreme environments, unimodal approaches have user experience issues. To address the issue, the authors seek to explore and conduct a preliminary study and evaluation of speech-hand gesture recognition using Leap Motion and Windows Speech Recognition API. A conceptual framework would be developed as a result of this study.

The objective of this research is to create a community based TransJakarta Bus Tracker where data of the buses is obtained from the users’ phones. This research aims to design and develop an application which lets users monitoring TransJakarta bus position with utilizing public data acquired from passengers’ phone GPS. It is not only from inside the bus stops, but everywhere as long as there is an internet connection. Users in buses will be able to supply additional road information, such as traffic jams, accidents and hazards to the public such that people waiting in the bus will not only know their next bus’ position but also the bus’ current status. The result of this research will be a prototype application which utilizes GPS, WebSockets, jQuery Mobile and Google Maps Services. The prototype application will only be designed to run on Android and Web platform(s).
