Abstract
This paper introduces a novel mixed reality (MR) remote guidance system for supporting laser alignment experiments. Replacing conventional laser safety glasses, a video see-through head-mounted display (VST-HMD) shields users from hazardous radiation. Nevertheless, the impact on human work performance when using a standalone VST system for laser alignment has not been fully explored. In this paper, we studied the effects of the MR guidance system in instructing users in laser alignment through a between-subject user study. Our results reveal that the developed MR guidance significantly enhances user experience, the alignment system usability, and reduces the need for human intervention compared to traditional guidance from a human instructor. Despite a diminished level of social presence, users displayed a preference for MR guidance using a VST-HMD.
