Abstract

Modern societies have created the experience of mixed reality or MR in users’ lifestyle with the advancements in sensor technology and computer processors.  The unique feature of this smart technology in interactive communication has improved human and social functions. With technology smartization, smart design is also carried out by computer tools. Smart interactive design such as mixed reality or MR can adopt a unique process, combining the data increasingly and creating a user-friendly interaction. The main purpose of its interactive design is improving users’ quality of life and welfare. It is evident that user interface or UI design has a crucial role in this regard because mixed reality technology does this by interactively designing two-dimensional or three-dimensional user interface forms called holograms. Smart user interface in mixed reality technology is the most important part of communication that can be perceived visually, audibly and tactilely. The purpose of user interface design is to facilitate the usability of mixed reality products and to make the process of using them enjoyable. This study examines concepts such as form language, interactive design, mixed reality based user interface design, usability, and holograms. The design of formal elements such as line, color, texture, icon, volume and typography in the user interface has visual values that improve the user interaction process through the hologram. From this perspective, design language can influence the usability of mixed reality or MR. It is worth noting that the case studies are purposefully selected and analyzed based on credible international sources produced by leading companies in the field of mixed reality. The main question of the study was as follows: what is the relationship between smart user interface design language and mixed reality function? To investigate, the theoretical basis of the study on the relationship between aesthetic components, the language of formality, and usability of successful projects is the centralized mixed reality user interface developed by Microsoft HoloLens. The main issue of this research is focused on the analysis of user interface design and design language in hologram technology. To examine the relationship between form and usability of the hologram smart user interface, case studies on the Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality headset were analyzed. This applied research was purposeful and the general results of the research showed that the correct design of smart user interface with emotional design or formal and modern design has enhanced the function of mixed reality and users feel comfortable interacting with this type of user interface design. mixed reality user interface design can be used in any field. There is no limit to the use of this technology and it is always used according to the needs of the user. The usability of the smart user interface is based on clear design thinking, has a friendly and emotional communication tone. In other design methods, it is formal and modern with high usability or even includes both. The logical connection between form and function based on usability preferences among users is a unique feature of hologram design.
