The Thematic Community Service Program (KKN Tematik) serves as a platform for applying appropriate technology to support local development planning. This community service activity implemented Augmented Reality (AR) as an interactive medium to visualize the 3D redesign of Masjid Ar-Rahman in Danau Kembar District, Solok Regency. A participatory action research (PAR) approach was applied to strengthen transparency and community engagement throughout the planning process. The workflow included on-site measurement and documentation, 2D drafting using AutoCAD, 3D modeling in SketchUp, realistic rendering and 360° panorama generation with Enscape, and WebAR/VR integration accessed via QR codes on smartphones. The AR visualization enabled residents and mosque stakeholders to understand spatial and architectural details more easily than conventional 2D drawings, facilitating feedback and shared understanding prior to implementation. Overall, AR-based visualization supported participatory planning for religious facilities and aligned with SDGs 4, 9, 11, 16, and 17 through digital literacy, innovation, inclusive community planning, transparent decision-making, and partnerships.
