Introduction:

Augmented reality (AR) can enhance realism and feedback in procedural training, offering features such as “see-through-vision” [1, 2]. However, AR devices, like the HoloLens (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington) may be too expensive for widespread use [3]. AR frameworks that run on widely available devices may provide a cost effective alternative.
