Abstract :
This poster presents a qualitative user study investigating user experience and acceptance of an MR application designed to give instructions on how to start up a diathermy apparatus. The study was conducted in a naturalistic setting on site at a hospital with actual users and their equipment. The analysis of the results has indicated that although there are several ergonomic issues to be solved, the acceptance of an MR system in this user group is high. As a result of the study, the MR system has been redesigned to better fit the ergonomic needs of this user group.
