It is a wearable computing course centralizing on mixed reality technologies and user studies evaluation. The adopted methodology is student-centered based on PjBL practices, emphasizing the Human-Computer interaction subject was applied six times, three times face-to-face, and three times remotely between 2019 and 2021. This paper describes the educator's experiences, learnings, and directions for the arrangement of other PjBL courses.
