To assess this approach, we implemented an MR-based system enabling novice users to tangibly create MR scenes within MR. The system, prototyped on the Microsoft HoloLens 2, allows users to create digital scenes by manipulating a physical box and a tangible 3D user interface. A pilot study was conducted to provide a preliminary evaluation and to inform future system development and deeper study design.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented realityHumancentered computing → Mixed / augmented reality10.2312/egve.2023133925-262 pages
