  - 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.@eng
