Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) are technologies that have been around for quite some time now. Although the maturity of these technologies has reached a high level, technological advancements have allowed one to constantly uncover the new, unexploited potential of AR and MR in a variety of application fields (such as the healthcare system, the manufacturing industry, cultural heritage fruition, and the entertainment industry), each with its own specific requirements.
Starting from these considerations, this Special Issue intends to collect and readily make available to the readers the most recent advancements in the multidisciplinary approach to research in the AR and MR fields. While the major focus of this Special Issue is the innovative use of instrumental solutions and measurement principles for enhancing the accuracy and robustness of AR and MR systems, this Special Issue will also welcome papers reporting cutting-edge results on different aspects related to AR or MR, thus reflecting the multi-faceted research approach inherent to such systems.
The list of topics includes (but it is not limited to) the following:
- Instrumental solutions and measurement principles for enhancing the accuracy and robustness of AR and MR systems;
- Display technologies and human vision;
- Wearable sensors;
- Object recognition and image registration;
- Computer graphics and animation;
- Speech, gestures, tracking, and calibration techniques;
- User experience, perception, and interactions in AR/MR;
- Multisensory experiences and improved immersion;
- Applications and case-studies.
