Abstract
In this comparative study, we evaluated the impact of two text-based onboarding methods - contextual tooltips and traditional tutorial screens - on usability and system satisfac- tion within a virtual reality (VR) interactive showcasing. The methods were tested on an interactive showcase prototype for an industrial robotics product, ACOPOS 6D. The study re- vealed that the contextual tooltip method yielded higher sys- tem satisfaction as participants felt less rushed and frustrated and demonstrated improved task performance. However, the two methods had no significant difference in perceived us- ability, learnability, or task completion time. These findings contribute to the ongoing discussion about the best practices for onboarding methods in VR interactive showcases. Fur- ther research is needed to improve onboarding intuitiveness and adaptability to the system’s complexity.
