This paper investigates transitional design principles across the MR spectrum, anchored by a review of ``The MagicBook'', a pioneering work that introduced the concept of transitional interfaces to the HCI community. Employing a forward-backward method, we reviewed 309 publications to understand the landscape of MR transitions. Our analysis outlines four distinct transition types within MR environments, offering a novel classification scheme. From this literature corpus, we identify four categories, setting a foundation for UX evaluation of transitional interfaces.}, keywords = {transitional interfaces, mixed reality, human-computer interaction, user experience, UX evaluation, design principles, MR spectrum, classification scheme} }
