initial design objectives toaddress the recognized need. They are summarized here. 1. Practical: Compatible with portable AR hardware that is also sufficiently comfortable to wear for long periods (multiple hours). 2. Independent: Usable when AR glasses are unavailable. 3. Flexible: Adaptable to student’s changing captioning needs and priorities in different educational contexts; allow the user to choose between desired transcription cost and accuracy. For example, a student would utilize high-quality human captioning during a lecture (where tolerance for transcription errors is low). After class, the student could switch to less-accurate automated captioning to discuss lecture details with a fellow student

Further study is needed to determine if these results arerepresentative of typical trends and how the training could be modified to result in more equitable outcomesfor all the students.IntroductionDecades of research has consistently shown that spatial skills are one of the strongest predictors of futuresuccess in STEM coursework and STEM careers independent of math and verbal ability. Wai et al. [1] andShea et al. [2] reviewed numerous longitudinal studies with many thousands of participants to concludethat spatial skills are critical to developing expertise in STEM. Additionally, visualization
