Conference Object Simulacrum: Simulation Virtual Reality for Emergency Medical Intervention in Battle Field Conditions(CEUR-WS, 2018) Güleç, Ulaş; Güleç, U.; Gözcü, M.A.; Yılmaz, Murat; Doğan, S.; Meşurhan, N.; Yılmaz, M.; İşler, V.; Dinç, M.; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; Yazılım MühendisliğiIn recent years, virtual reality technology has become one of the most effective tools used in the field of education due to its both hardware and software features. There are several studies in the literature that have been developed using the benefits of this technology in many different areas such as military, industrial, education, health and entertainment. This research aims to create a virtual reality based system that trains military personnel on emergency response techniques in the battle environment. In this project developed with respect to the requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces, HTC Vive, one of the most successful virtual helmets, has been used in order to increase the realism of this virtual environment where individuals learn first aid techniques or reinforce their knowledge. Participants who felt themselves in a war environment using this helmet had the opportunity to learn first aid techniques related to bullet injuries, limb ruptures and arm breaks, which are the most common forms of injury in war conditions. This developed environment has been tested by both first aid technicians and experts in the military field to take their opinions about the environment. According to the results obtained from these interviews, it was seen that the designed battle environment does not contain real life risks and it provides a continuous re-opportunity to the participants so that this environment can be a useful educational tool for increasing the knowledge levels and abilities of those who will work in this area.Conference Object Factors That Raise the Reality of the Virtual Office Environment Designed To Educate Software Development Processes(CEUR-WS, 2018) Güleç, Ulaş; Güleç, U.; Yılmaz, M.; Yılmaz, Murat; İşler, V.; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; Yazılım MühendisliğiSoftware Development Virtual Reality (SDVR) is an interactive virtual reality (VR) experience based on the tasks of software development starting from requirement analysis through software testing. The SDVR experience transports participants to a virtual world of a software development organization where they experience development problems and conflicting situations. In SDVR, the participant takes on the role of a new software developer being recruited into software development firm who should work alongside with five virtual characters, played by artificial intelligence. The purpose of this study is to explain the properties of the virtual office environment where the participants can experience software development processes in real office conditions. In order for people to gain experience, the simulated software development process should include the atmosphere and dynamism of the actual office environment. For this reason, the factors affecting the atmosphere of the virtual office environment are presented in the light of the opinions of the experts working in the field of software engineering. According to the results of this study, it is revealed that such a virtual office environment is a useful tool that can be used in the training of individuals who will work in software development field.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 36Overcoming Public Speaking Anxiety of Software Engineers Using Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2017) Gulec, Ulas; Gozcu, Mert Ali; O'Connor, Rory V.; Clarke, Paul M.; Nazligul, Merve Denizci; Yilmaz, Murat; O’Connor, Rory V.Public speaking anxiety is a type of social phobia, which might be commonly seen in novice software engineers. It is usually triggered by a fear of social performance especially when the performer is unfamiliar with the audience. Today, many software engineering activities (e.g. code inspection, peer review, daily meetings, etc.) require social gatherings where individuals need to present their work. However, novice software engineers may not be able to reduce their performance anxiety during their course of education. In this study, we propose a virtual reality approach to construct a practice environment for improving novice software engineers' pubic speaking experiences. Consequently, we examine the effects of virtual reality intervention on the public speaking experience of six novice software engineers from a computer engineering department. We designed a virtual auditorium to simulate the presentation delivery environment and findings suggest that using this infrastructure for training purposes can reduce presenter anxiety levels - which is consistent with related published studies. We believe that this virtual auditorium environment can deliver benefits for students and practitioners alike in terms of addressing the anxiety that is often associated with early stage career presenters.
