q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Narrative synthesis of the eight qualitative studies (including ProMIS, eoSim, ART systems). The review reports participants with AR training "consistently demonstrated shorter task completion times, higher" GOALS and OSATS "scores, and fewer errors", and that AR "effectively differentiates between varying proficiency levels".

"the evidence suggested that AR technology significantly shortens learning curves, enhances technical skills, and reduces cognitive load in laparoscopic training"
