architecture, which more often referred to as the Nusantara Architecture. Modern
perceptions make people understand that buildings are composed of natural materials,
and without planting, foundation means that the structures are primitive. In this research,
the media designed to introduce; Batak architecture based on Augmented Reality (AR)
Application to enter the physical appearance of Karo Batak, Toba Batak, and Simalungun
Batak Architecture. Architectural physical appearance includes the presence of the roof,
construction techniques, connection techniques, spatial planning, and compiler materials.
The results of this research are the augmented reality application. For further
