Augmented Reality (AR) instructions hold significant potential for cost savings in industrial applications. However, the creation of AR instructions presents a challenge, requiring both programming and spatial knowledge. While efforts to simplify AR development focus on reducing the complexity of content creation, a critical aspect often overlooked is the positioning of AR elements in the physical environment, which is facilitated by AR interaction techniques. This study employs a Design Science Research approach to investigate how AR interaction techniques can be designed to enable the creation of AR instructions without necessitating programming or spatial knowledge. Grounded in the Effective Use Theory and existing knowledge of AR interaction techniques, we propose two design principles and instantiated them in a software artifact. Our findings from a laboratory experiment with 55 participants demonstrate that using a device-based interaction technique enhances transparent interaction and representational fidelity, thereby facilitating the effective creation of AR instructions.
