Abstract	The development of mixed reality (MR) has provided new opportunities for fully immersive user experience, merging physical and virtual worlds in real time. Yet, making intuitive interfaces in MR environments is still a major problem, since developers are required to deal with varying interaction modalities, device constraints, and cognitive loads on people. This paper discusses the major challenges of creating seamless and user-focused MR interfaces with the focus on smooth switching between tangible and virtual environments. The challenges in this regard are gesture recognition, spatial awareness, multimodal feedback, latency, and ergonomics in MR devices such as HoloLens and smart glasses. The study points out case studies in cultural heritage, museums, and collaborative design settings by applying real-world implementations and user experiences to find crucial design traps. In addition, the paper covers hybrid interaction models and adaptive UI models to allow for more natural and fluid interactions. Evaluation techniques like heuristic walkthroughs, affective computing, and eye-tracking are also discussed to quantify user experience. Priority is given to obtaining a unified sense of presence and embodiment, which is critical for task performance and engagement. Finally, the research suggests best practices and design principles to overcome these hurdles, helping develop more intuitive MR systems. The research promotes interdisciplinary collaboration to close technical limitations and human factors, making MR technologies deliver on their full potential across different fields
