    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.

    Energy and Environmental Performance Based Decision Support Process for Early Design Stage of Residential Buildings
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Gerçek, Mümine; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep
    Deficiencies in systematic approaches for design decision support to increase energy and environmental performance of buildings in Turkey are projected as the major problem of this study. Rare usage of computational methods for evaluating and improving building performance, need for informational assistance in design, as well as lack of interaction between systematic knowledge and building practice are the secondary problems. This thesis mainly aims to test usability of the decision support process assisting architects in early design stages of residential buildings. Assessing the uncertainties in building performance caused by design parameters and climate change, in terms of determining the most significant parameters on annual energy consumption for heating, cooling and operational CO2 emissions in hot humid climatic region of Turkey is the significant objective of the study. The relation between input parameters and building performance indicators is examined by the uncertainty and global sensitivity analyses for a residential building in İzmir, Turkey. The process is supported by usability testing held with the architect in practice. The results indicate that, the sensitivity between input and output parameters changes according to the projected weather conditions and different floors of the building. The SHGC of windows on south-west, north-east facades, and window U values are the most effective parameters on energy and environmental performance. The proposed decision support process is approved to be applicable for early design stages of the selected building, and helps creating consciousness about the importance of systematic design decision approach for the building professional.

    Exploring Adoption of Smart Glasses: Applications in Medical Industry
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Göken, Müge; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri
    This research is a study exploring the utilization of smart glasses by physicians and their adoption to these products in medical industry. Although different smart glasses were examined in the process by literature review, in whole work, M100 was used as a physical product. In this research study, three research methods were preferred. These are semi-structured in-depth interview, expert focus group work and experimental study. 95 constructs were extracted from literature review and interviews by physicians. 15 most significant constructs were selected by physicians in the expert focus group work. At the end, 75 physicians answered a survey related with 30 constructs. These constructs include the most significant design inputs of smart glasses for the expert group. The survey included approximately 50 questions. According to survey, screen ergonomic was the most preferred design input of smart glasses for physicians. The other four significant design inputs are technical support, privacy, adjustability and ease of monitoring medical data in order. To sum up, this study states that designers of smart glasses should consider these five significant design factors at the first stage of smart glasses product development.
