Abstract:

 


In this study, the relationship between the
usability of a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) tutorial system and cognitive load
was examined. In this context, the relationship between perceived usefulness,
the perceived ease of use, and the perceived natural interaction factors and
intrinsic, extraneous, germane cognitive load were investigated.  In addition, the effect of gender on this
relationship was investigated. The research results show that there was a
strong relationship between the perceived ease of use and the extraneous load
in males, and there was a strong relationship between the perceived usefulness and
the intrinsic load in females. Both the perceived usefulness and the perceived
ease of use had a strong relationship with the germane cognitive load.
Moreover, the perceived natural interaction had a strong relationship with the
perceived usefulness in females and the perceived ease of use in males. This
research will provide significant clues to AR software developers and
researchers to help reduce or control cognitive load in the development of
AR-based instructional software.
