Abstract


Playing traffic simulation is a multimedia software that provides early childhood learning activities in the classroom to instill traffic discipline especially in early childhood. The software is run by a computer and the resulting image is a road simulation along with traffic signs that are projected onto a surface by an LCD projector. The computer interacts with users through the Infra-Red LED installed on a toy car and the light is captured by WiiMote. The results of the development are valid criteria through expert trials of learning activities for early childhood and the media. At the time of field testing limited to one kindergarten, the result was that children loved it and were very interested and scrambled to play it. While the teacher responds positively and is interested in the traffic simulator, with a note that the security factor of device placement needs to be considered, also the skills of the teacher in preparing the device to become a separate obstacle in its utilization.
