INVESTIGATION OF MOBILE AUGMENTED REALITY APPLICATIONS USED IN THE INTERIOR DESIGN

Özet

Scientific developments have triggered bleeding-edge technologies that have positive effect on thelife-quality of human-beings. One of these technologies is named as Augmented Reality (AR) whichalso the thesis has focused on. The AR technology is defined as the mixture of reality and virtuality.The AR technology that based on the combination of real space and/or object along with the virtualobject within the same platform, has aimed at getting more information for the interactive users aboutthe objects interacted with. AR applications can now experience a widespread deployment of mobilesmart devices and a large kit kit. This study aims to discuss the use of a new technique, ARtechnology, as a tool in the representation and experience of interior space and the effects of userexperience on the activities of mobile indoor AR applications. For this purpose, we reviewed Androidand IOS-based seven mobile interiors AR applications by searching for 'augmented reality interiordesign' on Google Play and Apple Store mobile stores as of February 2018. Therefore, both design anddesigners and end users have tried to determine the use of these applications and their identifieddeficiencies. In the future, AR is considered to be a powerful influence on the interior designer anduser axis, and is considered as a new technique and strategy that will contribute to the transformationof the space concept into technology coexistence. The AR technologies, to be deemed as having strongeffect within the framework of interior designer and user, are evaluated as a new technique andstrategy that will make a significant contribution to the transformation of space concept in line withthe developing technologies.
