Application Design and Implementation for the Automotive Industry with Virtual Reality

Abstract

The concept of "Virtual Reality" has entered our lives by adding virtual reality glasses to the computers, smartphones, or tablets that we frequently use with the developing technology day by day. Virtual reality includes the virtual world and three-dimensional virtual objects created in the computer environment. Virtual Reality technology aims to enable people to interact with objects by immersing them in the virtual world through equipment (VR glasses, hand controls, treadmills, etc.). This technology can be used in education, health, shopping, etc. used, in many fields. In this paper, virtual reality technol-ogy was used in an automobile store application. The study aims to enable people to read the necessary information about the selected automobile by choosing a car and color. Users will be able to visit and interact with this auto shop with virtual reality equipment in their environment. The 3D models required for the study were made with the Blender program, the software was made with the Unity3D game engine, and the application was developed. The application was tested with the participation of 26 people. As a result, the feedback received from users has been positive. It is thought that the study will be developed and contribute to the literature in different ways.
