The idea

An expert’s spatial hand guides and checkpoints stay attached to a real workpiece as a learner turns it and follows each step.

How it works

  1. An expert records hand guides around a workpiece, with views that remain attached as it rotates.
  2. Each checkpoint identifies the correct part and the expected visible state before continuing.
  3. A learner can recover from a mistake through a reviewed alternate step rather than scrubbing a video.

AI’s role: Search and adapt reviewed lessons to the current step; authoring, prerequisite checks, visible checkpoints, and recovery paths remain explicit and validated.

First demonstration

Help a newcomer assemble a ten-piece mechanism without scrubbing through a video; show the next hand move and verify each visible checkpoint.

What to solve next

How should a lesson explain hidden joins, force, or texture when a phone camera cannot directly observe them?
