Abstract

Son yıllarda, gerçeklik teknolojilerine olan talebin artmasıyla birlikte bu alandaki uygulamaların kullanımı da yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu teknolojiler, farklı sektörlerde çeşitli yenilikler ve kolaylıklar sunarak birçok alanda çalışmaların ve araştırmaların odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Sanal gerçeklik (Virtual Reality, VR) teknolojisi, bu teknolojiler arasında en yaygın kullanılanlardan biridir. Bunun temel nedeni, VR'nin sağladığı etkileyici deneyimler sayesinde kullanıcıları sanal bir ortamın içine çekerek onların etkileşim düzeyini artırmasıdır. VR teknolojisinin en sık kullanıldığı alanlar arasında tıp, mühendislik, turizm, eğitim ve eğlence sektörleri yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda, müze turları da VR teknolojisinin sunduğu fırsatlardan yararlanarak insanların bilgi edinmesini, kültürel etkileşimini artırmasını ve keyifli vakit geçirmesini sağlayan önemli bir uygulama alanı haline gelmiştir. Günümüzde birçok müze, ziyaretçilerine daha etkileyici ve interaktif bir deneyim sunabilmek adına sanal müze turları geliştirmektedir. Bu tür uygulamalar, fiziksel olarak bir müzeyi ziyaret etme imkânı bulamayan kişilere, sanal ortamda müzeleri keşfetme ve sergilenen eserler hakkında bilgi edinme fırsatı sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, VR teknolojisi kullanılarak bir müze turu uygulaması geliştirilmiştir. Kullanıcılar, uygulama aracılığıyla çeşitli müzeleri ziyaret edebilmekte ve müzelerde bulunan eserler hakkında detaylı bilgilere ulaşabilmektedir. Uygulamanın geliştirilme sürecinde, modellerin tasarlanması için Autodesk 3ds Max yazılımı kullanılmış, sanal ortamın oluşturulması için ise Unity 3D oyun motorundan faydalanılmıştır. Kullanıcının sanal ortamda kendini gerçek bir müze içerisindeymiş gibi hissedebilmesi için görsel daldırma tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu sayede, kullanıcıların müze turu deneyimini daha etkileyici ve gerçekçi bir şekilde yaşayabilecekleri düşünülmektedir.

Design and Development of Museum Tour Application with Virtual Reality Technology

Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing demand for reality technologies, the use of applications in this field has also become widespread. These technologies have become the focus of studies and research in many fields by offering various innovations and conveniences in different sectors. Virtual reality (VR) technology is one of the most widely used among these technologies. The main reason for this is that VR immerses users in a virtual environment and increases their level of interaction thanks to the impressive experiences it provides. The fields where VR technology is most frequently used include medicine, engineering, tourism, education, and entertainment. In this context, museum tours have become an important application area that allows people to gain information, increase their cultural interaction, and have a pleasant time by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by VR technology. Today, many museums are developing virtual tours to offer visitors a more impressive and interactive experience. Such applications allow people who cannot physically visit a museum to explore museums in a virtual environment and learn about the works on display. In this study, a museum tour application was developed using VR technology. Users can visit various museums through the application and access detailed information about the works in the museums. During the development process of the application, Autodesk 3ds Max software was used to design the models, and Unity 3D game engine was used to create the virtual environment. The visual immersion technique made the user feel like they were in a real museum in a virtual environment. In this way, it is thought that users will be able to experience the museum tour in a more impressive and realistic way.
