“…Over recent years, AR has seen substantial advancements, such as improved frame rates, resolution, and wearability, making it an increasingly suitable platform for scientific experimentation and practical application [1,2]. AR has been applied in a diverse array of areas, including medical education and surgery [3,4], repair and maintenance [5][6][7], architectural design [8,9], cultural heritage preservation [10,11], and remote collaboration [12,13], amongst others. With regard to information presentation, AR typically overlays context-specific information [14,15] or enables the integration of digital elements in a real environment [16,17].…”

A spectrum of control methods in human–robot interaction was investigated, ranging from direct control to telepresence with a virtual representation of the robot arm. A total of 24 participants used a setup that included a Franka Emika Panda robot arm, Varjo XR‐3 head‐mounted display, and Leap Motion Controller. Participants performed a box‐and‐block task using the bare hand (A), and under five gesture‐controlled robotic operation methods: direct sight (B), sight via video‐feedthrough (C), in a 3D telepresence environment with (D) and without (E) virtual representation of the robot arm, and using a 2D video feed (F). The number of grabbing attempts did not differ significantly between conditions, but local operation (B & C) yielded more transferred blocks than teleoperation (D–F). Teleoperation using a 3D presentation was advantageous compared to teleoperation using a 2D video feed, as demonstrated by lower peak forces and smaller range in gripper heights in conditions D and E compared to condition F, a finding supported by analyses of the head movement activity. Finally, the bare hand yielded the best performance and subjective ratings. In summary, teleoperation using a 3D presentation provided a smoother interaction than teleoperation with a 2D video feed. However, direct human interaction remains a benchmark yet to surpass.
