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 satisfaction 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 revealed that the contextual tooltip method yielded higher system satisfaction as participants felt less rushed and frustrated and demonstrated improved task performance. However, the two methods had no significant difference in perceived usability, learnability, or task completion time. These findings contribute to the ongoing discussion about the best practices for onboarding methods in VR interactive showcases. Further research is needed to improve onboarding intuitiveness and adaptability to the system’s complexity.
