This study presents a Mixed Reality (MR) game-based simulator, developed in Unity for the Meta Quest 3, aimed at enhancing arthroscopy training. The core task involves navigating a virtual maze using simulated surgical instruments, replicating the visuomotor coordination required in real procedures. A study with ten participants assessed usability, engagement, and perceived workload. Results indicated high satisfaction with the intuitive interaction, reinforcing the simulator’s potential as an effective and accessible training solution.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Mixed realityArthroscopy trainingSurgical skills acquisitionVirtual reality simulationGamificationconference outputopen access10.17979/spu.23.c30
