In the field of manufacturing, automation and labor-saving measures are rapidly advancing due to a shortage of human resources and technological innovation. By using advanced systems and equipment, it has become possible to perform processing without relying on the experience of the operators. However, there are still many situations in machine processing where humans and machines work together or in coordination. During processing, it is necessary to pay attention to the processing order and the asymmetrical workpiece, as a misjudgment could lead to work-related accidents. In this study, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of well-being and productivity using origami as a tabletop task that simulates machine processing. We will compare five teaching methods (pre-folded sample, textual instruction, audio instruction, static images, and video) with 25 participants across five origami tasks, evaluating well-being, task completion time, success rate, and precision. The results showed that video, followed by static images and pre-folded samples, had higher subjective well-being, shorter task completion times, higher success rates, and greater precision compared to textual and audio instructions. It was found that clearly teaching reference points for the orientation of the origami, the front and back, and the hand movements is important.
