Description
Summary:In this study, the relationship between theusability of a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) tutorial system and cognitive loadwas examined. In this context, the relationship between perceived usefulness,the perceived ease of use, and the perceived natural interaction factors andintrinsic, extraneous, germane cognitive load were investigated. In addition, the effect of gender on thisrelationship was investigated. The research results show that there was astrong relationship between the perceived ease of use and the extraneous loadin males, and there was a strong relationship between the perceived usefulness andthe intrinsic load in females. Both the perceived usefulness and the perceivedease of use had a strong relationship with the germane cognitive load.Moreover, the perceived natural interaction had a strong relationship with theperceived usefulness in females and the perceived ease of use in males. Thisresearch will provide significant clues to AR software developers andresearchers to help reduce or control cognitive load in the development ofAR-based instructional software.
