Traditional food is a representation of the culture and identity of
certain regions and is a symbol of cultural heritage. Traditional Indonesian food
must be preserved and introduced to the community, especially the easy generation
as
the
next
generation
of
the
nation
as
a
form
of
love
for
the
culture
that
has

been
passed
down
from
generation
to
generation.
It
aims
to
avoid
the
influence

of
food
or
foreign
cuisine
that
enters
Indonesia,
which
from
time
to
time
makes

the
preservation
of
traditional
Indonesian
food
increasingly
eroded.
One
form
of

an
effective
cultural
approach
is
by
introducing
to
the
easy
generation
and
also
to

the
wider
community.
Therefore
the
use
of
technology
is
very
important
to
maintain
the
preservation
of
traditional
Indonesian
food
and
convey
it
to
the
community,
especially
the
easy generation. This study aims to develop a mobile application for augmented reality as a promotional medium to introduce traditional Indonesian food. Mobile augmented reality in applications built with the Unity3D
program is done in different ways in presenting information to other media. This method allows users to view the media as a presentation of their information in the form of 2D and or 3D image modelling by using tracking images through a smartphone device's camera. The mobile augmented reality application that will be developed can provide an interesting and interactive information experience so that it can be fun for every user so that knowledge of traditional Indonesian food can be distributed and channeled so that the preservation of traditional Indonesian food is maintained.
