Abstract

Extended reality-assisted training offers repeatable learning opportunities at a low cost. This paper proposes a smart glass application for training core nursing skills to nursing students, who often need to memorize and practice training sequences. The proposed smart glass application interactively presents a series of instructions to help students remember and perform two core nursing skills in the correct order. We conducted a usability test on 30 undergraduate nursing students in their third year using the smart glass application. Our initial findings show that many students have positively evaluated the possibility of using smart glasses for training, but have also encountered several challenges with the smart glass application's user interface, which takes time to adapt.
