  text: Abstract This study explores the usability and onboarding process of a Mixed
    Reality (MR) application called PEARL, designed to prepare students for laboratory
    work. Originally developed for mobile Augmented Reality (mAR), PEARL was adapted
    for MR to offer a more immersive and intuitive experience through hand and gesture
    controls. Since many students lack experience with MR devices, a user-friendly
    onboarding system is essential. The study aims to redesign PEARL’s user interface
    and onboarding experience, evaluating how intuitive interaction elements impact
    usability. First, a literature review will identify existing usability guidelines
    for MR applications, which will guide the redesign of the interface. This new
    version will then be tested with students through a user study. Feedback will
    be collected via an online survey to assess the onboarding and user experience,
    and the findings will be used to refine the design further. The expected outcome
    is an improved onboarding process and interface, making PEARL accessible even
    for MR novices, enhancing their ability to interact with 3D objects in a real-world
    setting. Ultimately, the study aims to provide best practices for developing intuitive
    MR interfaces and effective onboarding experiences, especially in educational
    contexts.

  text: "At Paderborn University, an AR-based app is being developed to prepare electrical
    engineering students for laboratory work. This paper aims to review the development
    of AR since 2010, particularly in technical university laboratories, through a
    systematic literature review. The study investigates AR's relevance in university
    teaching and examines specific AR applications in laboratory settings.\r\nUsing
    a mixed-method approach, the research first employs a web crawler to gather 27,249
    articles from the Lens database, followed by a bibliometric analysis. Further,
    Google Scholar is used to find 374 articles related to AR in scientific and technical
    laboratories, with 51 significant ones evaluated for application areas, findings,
    and other criteria.\r\nThe findings show that AR in education is a growing trend,
    with a significant increase in publications and citations in recent years. Most
    studies focus on marker-based mobile AR applications, assessing aspects like motivation
    and user experience through surveys and interviews. However, there's limited research
    on AR's learning effectiveness in laboratories, partly due to the scarcity of
    technical equipment. One study found no significant learning impact from AR."
