AbstractRe-considering ‘space’ has gained importance once again, especially in the context of virtual spaces that have developed in the last century. Virtual technologies aiming for a lifelike experience have tried to imitate the processes taking place in physical space and adapt them to virtual spaces. Just as in the physical world, spaces formed by interconnected areas bring with it the necessity of navigation. The importance of navigation increases in virtual museums that aim for systematic knowledge transfer as well as spatial experience. Navigation in virtual tours can be evaluated within the framework of the tools offered by the interface. In addition to the tools enabling travel, tools aiming to support cognitive processes should also be considered. What are the effects of virtual museum tools on kinetic and cognitive processes of the user? What are the shortcomings of the embedded tools? The conducted research discusses the effects of virtual museum tools on navigational processes, focusing on Troya Museum virtual tour produced by the company Matterport. In the field study performed with 20 people, the participants were given 4 tasks to complete. During the fulfillment of the tasks and through the questionnaire at the end, data has been collected about participants’ use of tools. Besides participant answers, observational and verbal data has been collected by requesting the participants to share their screen with the researcher. The virtual museum interface offered by Matterport is observed to be widely used in both domestic and abroad virtual tours, offering tools that slightly vary. Thus, the executed research aims to constitute a background for further research on the examination of virtual museum tools on navigational processes of the user. |
