Abstract:
So far, 2D map-based navigation applications on mobile platforms have been dominating the market. However, with the rise of augmented reality technology, a new type of interface is introduced to the navigation applications. To this end, two mobile navigation applications having different interaction styles were developed for a task of navigation in Istanbul Technical University campus. The first application offers navigation within a 2D digital map view and the second application is an augmented reality browser, which provides navigation by displaying waypoints onto the phone’s camera view. The aim of this study is to investigate how efficient these two different interfaces are in the tasks of navigation and exploring the campus area. In line with this purpose, a user experience test was conducted in the field and the results show that both interfaces have their own pros and cons, but they both accomplish their navigation duties with success.
