Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in Marine Science
This special issue belongs to the section "Ocean Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emerging technologies and the continuous improvement in the performances of smartphones and portable devices have allowed researchers to develop complex augmented reality and virtual reality applications able to offer different experiences in several ambits. In the marine fields, these applications and systems provide alternative and captivating solutions to several issues, such as sea protection, virtual diving, including the fruition of underwater cultural heritage and environmental monitoring. This Special Issue aims at collecting cutting-edge AR and VR research and solutions in the field of the marine science. Original research and reviews directly related to the exploitation of the AR and VR techniques in the marine science are encouraged to submit for publication.
