ABSTRACT: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has evolved from simple command-line interfaces to immersive and multimodal interaction systems that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. The integration of Mixed Reality (MR) and multimodal interfaces represents a transformative step toward natural and intuitive interaction paradigms. This paper explores the conceptual foundations, advancements, and applications of HCI within MR environments, highlighting how multimodal interfaces—comprising visual, auditory, tactile, and gestural modalities—enhance user engagement and usability. It also examines the challenges related to usability, ergonomics, system latency, and ethical design while proposing the scope for future research in adaptive interfaces and usercentered design frameworks. The study emphasizes that the future of HCI lies in creating seamless, context-aware, and emotionally intelligent systems that respond dynamically to human behavior in mixed reality environments.
