“…They might therefore be perceived as mean to address the need for a translucent system. Even gestures, which are understood as known by a large part of the population, such as dragging objects on a touchscreen, are not guaranteed to be understood by all users, as shown for elderly users by Mihajlov et al [41]. The particular request of controllers might not just be related to problems with executing gestures correctly but also with effects like haptic uncanny valley [42], i.e., that the haptic sense often still is excluded from the experience, while being important for human perception.…”

The current generation of dedicated Mixed Reality (MR) devices can be considered as the first generation, which is truly mobile while also being capable of sufficient tracking and rendering. These improvements offer new opportunities for the on-set use of MR devices enabling new ways of using MR. However, these new use cases raise challenges for the design and orchestration of MR applications as well as how these new technologies influence their field of application. In this paper, we present MR On-SeT, a MR occupational health and safety training application, which is based on the experiences of an operational division of a world-wide operating German company. The intended purpose of MR On-SeT is to increase employees’ awareness of potential hazards at industrial workplaces by using it in occupational health and safety training sessions. Since the application is used at various locations throughout the company’s world-wide subsidiaries, we were able to evaluate it through an expert survey with the occupational health and safety managers of seven plants in France, Germany, Japan, and Romania. They reported the condensed experience of around 540 training sessions collected within three months. The purpose of the evaluation was twofold: 1. to understand their perceived attitudes towards the application-in-use, and 2. to collect feedback they received from respondents in training sessions. The results suggest that MR On-SeT can be used to extend current, predominantly theoretical, methods of teaching occupational health and safety at work, which also motivates existing employees to actively engage in the training sessions. Based on the findings, several further design implications are proposed.

“…This has resulted in differing interaction concepts being used to describe overlapping problem statements. Their close semantic relation and them being applied to similar interaction contexts, have further led to confusion, with these terms being used in conjunction or even interchangeably [39,61,87]. Consequently, which term is being used to describe a specific problem may vary between researchers, making a comprehensive look at the problem statement, and research addressing it, difficult.…”

“…Often mentioned in conjunction or synonymously with learnability is discoverability [8,15,21]. The term 'discoverability' in the context of usability and human-computer interaction was popularised by Norman [26], who describes it through the following question:…”

In an ever increasingly complex technological landscape, interaction methods need to support users in their own discovery. This is exacerbated by a general aversion to instruction manuals and a trend towards invisible controls. Consequently, a lack of support for awareness or recognition of interaction possibilities leads to inefficient usage or complete disregard of the system. However, despite standard work imploring that users should be able to "figure out what actions are possible and where and how to perform them", this problem is rarely considered in the introduction of new interaction methods. My doctoral research is focused on improving the discovery of interaction possibilities. To do so I am combining a theoretical approach, focused on identifying, defining and framing relevant considerations with a practical approach to validate those theoretical considerations and identify and formulate actionable improvement methods for researchers and designers. In the process I hope to highlight the importance of discoverability to the research community and advocate for its increased consideration.
