Use of three-dimensional virtual world platforms has been increasing worldwide. These online multi-user spaces, where users move and interact in a simulated three-dimensional spaces, provide many opportunities for learning and teaching process. Educators worldwide have been experimenting to use these technologies by investing on research and development. The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends in three-dimensional virtual world literature. The results of the study will provide a roadmap to the researchers and educators who wants to use these environments for an educational purposes.

Üç boyutlu sanal dünyalar: eğitimciler için yol haritası Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Gül, Abdülmenaf (null; 2013-01-25) Dünya çapında, üç boyutlu sanal dünya platformlarının kullanımı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Internet üzerinden çok kullanıcılı bir ortamda üç-boyutlu etkileşimin mümkün olduğu bu platformlar öğrenme-öğretme sürecine birçok fayda sağlamaktadır. Eğitimciler, araştırma ve geliştirmeye büyük miktarda zaman ve mali yatırım yaparak bu ortamların sunduğu imkânlardan yararlanmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu sunumun amacı, ülkemizde bu ortamları eğitim amaçlı kullanmak isteyen eğitimcilere bilgi vermek ve tasarım prensiplerini...
Network modeling and simulation of massively multiplayer online games Bozcan, Selcuk; İşler, Veysi (2012-08-01) Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) have become highly popular in the last decade and now attract millions of users from all over the world to play in an evolving virtual world concurrently over the Internet. The high popularity of MMOGs created a rapidly growing market and this highly dynamic market has forced game developers to step up competitively. However, MMOG development is a challenging and expensive process. In this study, we present a high-level network simulation environment, which can be ...
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...
A tool for network simulation of massively multiplayer online games Bozcan, Selçuk; İşler, Veysi; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) have become highly popular in the last decade and now attract millions of users from all over the world to play in an evolving virtual world concurrently over the Internet. The high popularity of MMOGs created a rapidly growing market and this highly dynamic market has forced the game developers to step up competitively. However, MMOG development is a challenging and expensive process. In this study, we have developed a network simulation tool which can be used to ...
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND USABILITY OF A LOCATION-BASED GAME Badali Naghadeh, Faraz; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2022-9-02) Location-based games (LBG) have been created with the aim of blending reality with the virtual world. At its core, LBGs utilize user location as the main element since they can be played almost anywhere. The LBGs have been reported to positively affect several aspects of the player’s life, such as increasing exercise, learning about the environment, and socialization. These characteristics have led to the implementation of location-based games in education, tourism, and even health-related fields. Many stud...
