    The Factors That Influence Usage of Mobile Augmented Reality Application
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Yavuz, Merve; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri
    With the increasing use of smart devices, augmented reality (AR) technology has become widespread in mobile devices. As with user interaction technologies, there are factors affecting the use of applications in mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications. In this research study, the factors which affect the use of mobile augmented reality were investigated. Although AR and MAR were generally investigated during the research period, Augment, the application, was used in the survey and interview part of the research study. The interview, which consists of three different parts, and a quantitative experimental study were conducted. 139 variables were obtained from articles and interviews. As a result of the studies, 22 of these variables were selected. In the study, 47 questions were asked to examine the 22 concepts. In the quantitative experimental study, 146 participants answered questions. The survey data was collected by a web based form. As a result of this study, the most important factor that influences usage of MAR application is security and privacy. The following factors are ease of learning, visual quality of the application 3D model, and ease of use. To sum up, it is recommended that designers, and application developers consider these five variables when designing or developing a MAR application.

    Augmented Reality-Based Model-Mediated Teleoperation: a Mobile Telerobot Case Study
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Kirişci, Nihat Çağhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    Teleoperation is defined as operating a robot in a remote environment. Teleoperation utilizes the strength and dexterity of robots and the interpretation and problem solving skills of humans. In a teleoperation system, the robot to be controlled is referred as the slave. The master is a device that the human operator interacts with to send commands to the slave or receive feedback from the slave environment such as haptic or audio. However, teleoperation of a robot in an unknown environment solely based on haptic and visual feedback is a demanding task. The effects of time delay in communication channels makes completing this task even more challenging. Model-Mediated Teleoperation (MMT) aims to solve this problem by creating a virtual model of the slave robot and the environment. This virtual model receives commands from the master and returns haptic feedback just as the real slave robot is interacting with the environment, effectively with no delay. However, without actually knowing where the position of the virtual robot corresponds in the real environment, it is still challenging to carry out the task. In this project, a novel augmented reality based method is proposed to render the virtual robot into the real life live video feed. Integration of the non-delayed robot into the real environment intends to solve this problem by enhancing the perception of the user.
