Augmented reality (AR) has developed rapidly in recent years, causing the technology to move out of the preserve of large budgets and significant infrastructure, into an accessible and affordable visualization tool capable of running on a smart phone. However, the usage of this technology for superimposing digital content such as 3D models and images onto the real world, has not been sufficiently explored in industrial and engineering design for presentation purposes. Even though designers have access to various tools and methods for presenting design projects, some of which are digital, intended user experiences or product specifications are sometimes not conveyed satisfactorily. This paper explores the potential of AR technologies to enable designers to enhance their 2D presentation boards and 3D physical mock-ups with an additional layer of digital information. The study was carried out in an educational context through a design project (bedside alarm clock) with eight postgraduate students. Students were exposed to three project parts: 1) AR presentation and software demonstrations; 2) concept design and creation of AR content; and 3) evaluation of utilized AR software. Digitally-created design content was successfully presented interchangeably and overlapping in real-time with physical media. The experience was variously described as presentation boards and mock-ups 'coming to life' with augmented content including text, images, animations, video and sound. The latter was found especially valuable for properly conveying the audible design intent for the alarm clock projects. The paper concludes on how AR technologies can support industrial design presentations and some suggestions for technological developments. © 2015, The Design Society. All Rights Reserved.

Mixed Reality Technologies for Enriching Presentations in Industrial Design Education
Topal, Başak; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2021-8-13)
Mixed Reality (MR) has developed rapidly in recent years, causing the technology to move out of the preserve of large budgets and significant infrastructure, into an accessible and affordable visualization tool capable of running on a smart phone. However, the usage of this technology for superimposing digital content such as 3D models and images onto the real world, has not been sufficiently explored in industrial design for presentation purposes. The first part of this study is an assessment of final pres...
Appraisal of augmented reality technologies for supporting industrial design practices
Topal, Basak; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-01-01)
Having become widespread and easily accessible with the rapid advancements in technology, augmented reality (AR) offers potential uses for industrial designers, especially for design students. Some design stages, during which traditional tools and methods are used, may not fully communicate the total experience that a product offers. AR can provide a digital layer in which designers can present information and make their presentations more interactive. With this aim in mind, design practice fieldwork with t...
Appraisal of augmented reality technologies for supporting industrial design practices
Topal, Başak; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Department of Industrial Design (2015)
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that enables the integration of computer generated data into real objects and environments. With the rapid advancements in technology, uses of AR have also become widespread. Nowadays, digitally created data including videos, images, sound, 3D models and text can be viewed superimposed on the real objects/environment through devices such as personal computers, tablets, smartphones, head mounted displays, and projection. AR also offers potential uses for industrial desi...
Efficient inertially aided visual odometry towards mobile augmented reality
Aksoy, Yağız; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
With the increase in the number and computational power of commercial mobile devices like smart phones and tablet computers, augmented reality applications are gaining more and more volume. In order to augment virtual objects effectively in real scenes, pose of the camera should be estimated with high precision and speed. Today, most of the mobile devices feature cameras and inertial measurement units which carry information on change in position and attitude of the camera. In this thesis, utilization of in...
Architectural Design in Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality Environments: A Comparative Analysis
Ergün, Oğuzcan; Akın, Şahin; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Sürer, Elif (2019-01-01)
Virtual reality (VR) provides a completely digital world of interaction which enables the users to modify, edit, and transform digital elements in a responsive way. Mixed reality (MR), which is the result of blending the digital world and the physical world together, brings new advancements and challenges to human, computer and environment interactions. This paper focuses on adapting the already-existing methods and tools in architecture to both VR and MR environments under sustainable architectural design ...
