Abstract
Abstract This research is motivated by the low interest in reading students towards concepts that are considered difficult because they are abstract, especially on the concept of hydrocarbons, so that the media needed can help students to understand the context with the help of simple, efficient and interesting tools. This study aims to describe the stages of making AR technology-based learning media on the concept of hydrocarbons, increasing students interest in reading, and analyzing the feasibility of the learning media. Research and development has produced products in the form of AR technology-based learning media on the concept of hydrocarbons. The stages of research are carried out by analyzing hydrocarbon concept development, design, validation, feasibility testing, and limited testing. Due diligence and limited testing are conducted to obtain feedback for improvement and assessment of learning aspects, conceptual substance, visual communication, and software engineering, as well as the feasibility of their use. In general, the test results obtained by the calculation of feasibility = 0.8-1.0 and the reading interest questionnaire indicate that students-reading interest has increased. This shows that the presentation of learning media is appropriate to be used as a learning resource for students to increase students-reading interest in learning.
