This work explores Augmented Reality (AR) as a solution, enabling interactive and spatially meaningful learning experiences. Focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the system integrates a Digital Twin (DT) with Microsoft HoloLens and Unity to provide immersive visualization and interaction with mechanical machines. Users can manipulate components through natural hand gestures, enhancing spatial reasoning and hands-on training. This mixed-reality approach offers SMEs a scalable and practical tool for modernizing workforce education in manufacturing.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Computing methodologies → Modeling and simulation; Software and its engineering → Software notations and toolsComputing methodologies → Modeling and simulationSoftware and its engineering → Software notations and tools10.2312/evp.202511393 pages
