Work in progress: Enhance CS/CE student learning in computer architecture and organization through a remote instrument control lab with mixed reality

The paper presents our preliminary work on developing a remote hardware development lab using mixed reality technology (mRLab). The mRLab allows a group of students to remotely and simultaneously work on a VHDL project with an FPGA development board. All lab objects are created in 3D and an interactive layer on the 3D objects is added to host learning information along with caveats to assist learning.
