A step-by-step guide for AR system setup and utilization is provided. Workload was assessed using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), and ergonomics were evaluated using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) score after each procedure. Paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare traditional and AR systems, with normality assessed via the Shapiro-Wilk test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Use of the AR system resulted in significantly lower NASA-TLX scores, particularly in physical demand, effort, and performance domains (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
