“…Generally, it was found that the immersive strategy was preferred over non-immersive approaches. In line with this work, Rajaram et al in [32] explore the use of a regular sheet of paper to enable instructors to create AR educational experiences. The types of assets used were descriptive in nature, either to augment information given on the paper or to visualize a concept.…”

Creating digital twins of real objects is becoming more popular, with smartphones providing 3D scanning capabilities. Adding semantics to the reconstructed virtual objects is important to possibly reproduce training scenarios that otherwise could demand significant resources or happen in dangerous scenarios in some cases. The aim of this work is to evaluate the usability of authoring object component behaviors in immersive and non-immersive approaches. Therefore, we present an evaluation of the perceived ease of use to author moving parts of objects under three different conditions: desktop, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This paper provides insights into the perceived benefits and issues that domain experts might encounter when authoring geometrical component behaviors across each interface. A within-subject study is the major contribution of this work, from which is presented an analysis based on the usability, workload and user interface preferences of participants in the study. To reduce confounding variables in the study, we ensured that the virtual objects and the environment used for the evaluation were digital twins of the real objects and the environment that the experiment took place in. Results show that the desktop interface was perceived as more efficient and easier to use based on usability and workload measures. The desktop was preferred for performing component selection but no difference was found in the preference for defining a behavior and visualizing it. Based on these results, a set of recommendations and future directions are provided to achieve a more usable, immersive authoring experience.

“…Kirner et al [20] contributed to the AR landscape by developing the interactive book GeoAR, leveraging Augmented Reality for teaching Geometry topics. Meanwhile, Rajaram et al [22] introduced Paper-Trail, a transformative tool designed to enrich paper-based learning with digital media, animations, and clipping masks. These AR applications have significantly advanced text presentation, enhanced the reading experience for adult learners, facilitated image visualization, and improved the teaching of geometric shapes.…”

Researchers face the challenge of efficiently navigating vast scientific literature while valuing printed papers in the digital age. Printed materials facilitate deeper engagement and comprehension, leading to superior exam performance and enhanced retention. However, existing digital tools often need to pay more attention to the needs of researchers who value the tactile benefits of printed documents. In response to this gap, we introduce AR-PaperSync, a transformative solution that leverages Augmented Reality (AR) and cross-device interaction technology. AR-PaperSync seamlessly integrates the physical experience of printed papers with the interactive capabilities of digital tools. Researchers can effortlessly navigate inline citations, manage saved references, and synchronize reading notes across mobile, desktop, and printed paper formats. Our user-centric approach, informed by in-depth interviews with six researchers, ensures that AR-PaperSync is tailored to its target users’ needs. A comprehensive user study involving 28 participants evaluated AR-PaperSync’s significantly improved efficiency, accuracy, and cognitive load in academic reading tasks compared to conventional methods. These findings suggest that AR-PaperSync enhances the reading experience of printed scientific papers and provides a seamless integration of physical and digital reading environments for researchers.
