The field of mixed reality is rapidly evolving, with a growing focus on its applications in well-being, healthcare, and human-computer interaction. Recent studies have explored the use of mixed reality as a tool for supporting workplace well-being, reducing anxiety and improving mindfulness in knowledge workers. Additionally, mixed reality has been investigated as a means of preparing patients for medical procedures, such as CT scans, and enhancing their emotional and physical readiness. In the realm of healthcare, mixed reality has shown promise in improving surgical precision and guiding surgeons during delicate procedures. Furthermore, researchers have been examining the potential of mixed reality to assist individuals with autism spectrum disorder and homonymous hemianopia, with a focus on enhancing gaze-performance links and improving collision avoidance behaviors. Noteworthy papers in this area include:

• A study on the use of a mixed reality simulator to prepare patients for CT scans, which demonstrated significant reductions in pre-scan anxiety levels and improved compliance during the actual procedure.
• A paper on the development of a dual-level visual guidance system for children with autism spectrum disorder, which showed effectiveness in boosting the gaze-performance link.
• A study on the use of Magic Leap-based mixed reality guidance for surgical scalpel navigation, which improved cutting accuracy and efficiency in a controlled phantom study.
