1. A method for parallel content authoring, the method comprising:
creating a 3D representation of a target physical system;
receiving a part selection from an editor of the 3D representation, the part selection from one of a plurality of parts included in the target physical system;
collecting part actions from the editor, the part actions associated with actions to be performed on the selected part;
creating queued annotations for the part actions, wherein the queued annotations are to be displayed in a 3D environment with respect to the 3D representation of the target physical system, and wherein at least one of the queued annotations includes a camera position recording based on a type of the corresponding part action and a location of the target system part;
collecting and associating augmented reality data with the queued annotations;
publishing a data structure bundle including a data set for generation of the queued annotations, the data set parsable to create mixed reality content; and
a mixed reality system creating and presenting to a user content including the queued annotations from the data set, where the user interacts with the target physical system and parts included in the parts selection according to the queued annotations.
