NFTS in the Scope of the Extended Reality Technologies
Abstract
In the last 10 years, the Extended Reality technology (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality) has been developing rapidly and with these developments a lot of business has started investing in these technologies, which inspired people from different backgrounds and experiences to start working and adapting to these technologies, and coming with this raising interest in Extended Reality technology and the huge work fields that these technologies offer, a great new workspace and opportunities to people who work in the creative field. The Covid-19 pandemic caused a great digitalization movement has been started which forced a lot of people to rely on digital realities in a lot of their everyday life activities such as work and socializing activities beside entertainment, which eventually led to more and more interest in technologies that are believed to have the ability to improve the extended reality technology, such as NFTs (Non-Fungible Token). This research aims to understand the opportunities that new, modern and uprising technologies such as NFT can offer to Extended Reality technology, the effects of the developments in the field of the Extended Reality technology upon NFTs and creative work, study new ways to develop more opportunities in this field and understand the new form of HCI these technologies are creating and their impact on people's lives.

Öz
Son 10 yılda, genişletilmiş gerçeklik teknolojileri (Sanal Gerçeklik, Artırılmış Gerçeklik, Karma Gerçeklik) hızla gelişmektedir ve bu gelişmelerle birlikte birçok işletme bu teknolojilere yatırım yapmaya başlamıştır. Bu süreç, farklı geçmişlere ve deneyimlere sahip insanlara bu teknolojilere çalışmaya ve uyum sağlamaya başlama konusunda ilham vermektedir. Genişletilmiş gerçeklik teknolojilerine ve bu teknolojilerin sunduğu devasa çalışma alanlarına olan ilginin artmasıyla birlikte, yaratıcı endüstriler alanında çalışanlar için yeni bir çalışma alanı ve fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Covid-19 pandemisi, birçok insan için eğlencenin yanı sıra iş ve sosyalleşme faaliyetleri vb. gibi günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde dijital gerçekliklere güvenmeye zorlayan büyük bir dijitalleşme sürecinin başlamasına olanak vermiştir. Böylece, NFT (Non-Fungible Token) gibi, genişletilmiş gerçeklik teknolojilerini geliştirebilecek teknolojilere giderek daha fazla ilgi gösterilmesine yol açmıştır. Bu araştırma, NFT’nin genişletilmiş gerçeklik teknolojilerine sunabileceği fırsatları, bu alandaki gelişmelerin NFT ve yaratıcı çalışma üzerindeki etkilerini ve bu teknolojilerin yarattığı yeni HCI biçiminin insanlar üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
