: This homegrown Indonesian streaming service is currently more popular than global giants like Netflix and Disney+ in the country. It focuses on local content, sports (including soccer), and original series.

The ARISE project is a legacy project that created over 150 high-fidelity simulation plans and serious games with augmented reality images, videos, and sounds that were accessed using a QR code, an iPad, and the open-source Aris app.
Although the ARISE app is no longer supported by its original creator, the ARISE simulation plans can be adapted for use in high-fidelity and low-fidelity simulations. They can be accessed using the following button.
