dc.descriptionThis study was supported by I\u015F\u0131k University . The author thanks colleagues Bet\u00FCl Ozar and Simge G\u00FClbahar for their guidance in the design development of the two signage designs, and research assistant Meri\u00E7 Dik for dedicated support in developing the virtual environment. Gratitude is also extended to the volunteer students who participated in the VR experience for their valuable time and contributions.en_US
dc.description.abstractThis study explores how alternative wayfinding signage designs influence user experience within immersive virtual environments during early-stage architectural evaluation. A 3D model of a university building's ground floor was developed and experienced through head-mounted displays (HMDs) to simulate spatial conditions. Eighteen participants completed structured navigation tasks in two signage settings, followed by post-task surveys and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data—task completion times and circulation paths—were analysed alongside thematic evaluations of user feedback. Findings reveal that signage design affects spatial perception, navigational efficiency, and user satisfaction. The study shows that early-stage VR testing supports user-informed design decisions, especially for evaluating signage-based spatial strategies and related user experience considerations. VR emerges as a practical tool for integrating user-centred feedback into the pre-occupancy phase of spatial planning.en_US
