	Number of statements identified, n	Illustrative quotes
Positive Themes
Praise for the technology	29	“Having the examiner’s perspective was important, so being able to see what they saw, and you know, being able to also see what they were looking for from their perspective.”
The device’s role as an adjunct for teaching	28	“Very helpful, especially for larger groups of students when not feasible to go to bedside.” “very beneficial to use … if a situation like COVID-19 happened, where we couldn’t attend placement.”
Favourable outlook on the session design	12	“That’s one place that the HoloLens does better than the bedside teaching. You bring [the diagrams] up and see it, rather than on bedside teaching recall it off memory or have to go back on your phone.”
Negative Themes
Comments on the design of the session	29	“It would be good to have a go at some of the practical things like measuring a thyromental distance but otherwise was a good tutorial.”
Technical problems encountered	25	“The video playback was choppy.” “I had some issues with hearing the patient responses.”
Potential barriers to student learning	12	“Not as useful as bedside teaching.” “Does not substitute hands on time.”
