Abstract
Research has shown that Augmented Reality (AR) instruction manuals are more effective than their paper counterparts in reducing errors when performing manual tasks such as assembling objects. To further improve user experience with such tasks, this study compared two positionings of instructional materials in an AR environment. The goal was to identify the solution that offers a more pleasant user experience for fully immersed individuals, as they interact with the virtual manuals while their hands remain freed up to complete an assembly task. As the popularity of Industrial AR rises, this study seeks to equip future designers of AR and Industry 4.0 interfaces and content with best practices.
