Virtual Reality Environments (VRE) is relatively new types of human-computer interaction interfaces in which users perceive and act in a 3D world. Researchers use it both as a tool and as an experimental area for their studies. In this study, a desktop VRE was created and used to explore the role of attention for visual perception of 60 university students who participated to the study. The findings showed that configurational knowledge can be attained in desktop VRE. Furthermore, it is found that visual attention has a significant role on forming cognitive maps since the incidental formation of a cognitive map seems to be not possible on the basis of our results.

The Influence of emergent mixed-reality technologies on design thinking Cindioğlu, Hasane Ceren; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2019) Design Thinking is still an unexplored field in terms of usage of emergent technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR). This thesis focuses on the potentials of the MixedReality (MR) environment, as the most recent evolution of VR-based technologies, in the context of architectural basic design education. The research analyzes the influence of emergent MR technologies on design thinking abilities of the first-year architectural students in the context of three-dimensional basic design tasks by comparing the t...
Developing building information modelling based virtual reality and mixed reality environments for architectural design and improving user interactions with serious games Ergün, Oğuzcan.; Sürer, Elif; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2019) Virtual Reality (VR) provides an interactive experience for its users in a fully artificial computer-simulated environment while Mixed Reality (MR) forms environments by mixing the real world and the virtual world elements together. In the first part of this thesis, an architectural visualization and design tool, which is based on Building Information Modeling (BIM), is developed for VR, MR and personal computer (PC) environments. BIM provides detailed information and tools to professionals so that they can...
Development of a material cutting model for haptic rendering applications Üner, Görkem; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Haptic devices and haptic rendering is an important topic in the burgeoning field of virtual reality applications. In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of a cutting force model integrating a haptic device, the PHANToM, with a high powered computer. My goal was to build a six degree of freedom force model to allow user to interact with three dimensional deformable objects. Methods for haptic rendering including graphical rendering, collision detection and force feedback are illustrate...
The Expertise Effect on Web Accessibility Evaluation Methods Brajnik, Giorgio; Yesilada, Yeliz; Harper, Simon (2011-01-01) Web accessibility means that disabled people can effectively perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. Web accessibility evaluation methods are needed to validate the accessibility of web pages. However, the role of subjectivity and of expertise in such methods is unknown and has not previously been studied. This article investigates the effect of expertise in web accessibility evaluation methods by conducting a Barrier Walkthrough (BW) study with 19 expert and 57 nonexpert judges. The BW m...
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...
