In the early stages of learning a technical skill, trainees require guidance from a mentor through augmented feedback to develop higher expertise. However, the impact of such feedback and the different modalities used to communicate it remain underexplored in immersive virtual environments (IVE). This paper presents a study in which 27 participants were divided into three groups to learn a tool manipulation trajectory in an IVE. Two experimental groups received guidance from an expert using visual and/or haptic augmented feedback, while the control group received no feedback. The results indicate that both experimental groups showed significantly greater improvement in tool trajectory performance than the control group from pre- to post-test, with no significant differences between them. Analysis of their learning curves revealed similar performance improvements in tool trajectory across trials, outperforming the control group. Additionally, the visual-haptic feedback condition was linked to lower task load in three out of six dimensions of the NASA-TLX and a higher perceived interdependence with the expert's actions. These findings suggest that augmented feedback from an expert enhances the learning of tool manipulation skills. Although adding haptic feedback did not lead to better learning outcomes compared to visual feedback alone, it did enhance the overall user experience. These results offer valuable insights for designing IVEs that support mentor-trainee interactions through augmented feedback.

In the last decades, maxillomandibular reconstruction has been revolutionised by the use of free flaps and virtual surgical planning technologies. However, the currently available applied physical cutting guides provide no intraoperative flexibility, and adjustments based on intraoperative findings are not possible. A novel augmented reality (AR)-guided technique is presented that allows for quick intraoperative surgical planning adaptations.

Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study: (a) scoped the literature for desirable characteristics of online learning environments; (b) analyzed and compared the available online systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) courses; and (c) proposed an outline for a model online systematic review SR/MA course that is aligned with PRISMA principles, and (d) charted learning outcomes, module contents, interactive elements, feedback and module assessment, and course evaluation of the proposed course. The findings highlight the many distinctive aspects and design of the proposed model course, including its comprehensiveness, alignment with PRISMA principles, self-pace and self-direction, with high interactivity levels, augmented by the expert trainer guidance ('human' factor), and individualized feedback, and its conclusion with the incorporation of the learners in virtual research teams undertaking real SR/MA. The proposed model course integrates principles of problem-based learning, where in addition to the provided resources (interactive assignments and video tutorials), trainees will be actively conducting their own real SR/MA as part of the course, while receiving expert feedback to enhance learning outcomes.

Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical support and sensory feedback, remains underexplored due to the currently limited sensing density and interaction with the fingers.
