Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human–computer interaction (HCI) and intelligent interface design have become central to the way humans engage with technology. The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, multimodal interaction, and immersive technologies such as AR/VR is reshaping how people communicate, learn, work, and live. As computing systems evolve, there is a pressing need for interfaces that are not only efficient and adaptive but also inclusive, accessible, and human-centered.
This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research, innovative applications, and critical reflections regarding the design, development, and evaluation of intelligent interaction systems. We invite scholars, practitioners, and industry experts to contribute original research articles, case studies, and reviews that advance the frontiers of HCI and interface design.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Intelligent and adaptive interfaces;
- Human–AI collaboration and co-creativity;
- Natural language, gesture, and multimodal interaction;
- Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed-reality interfaces;
- Accessibility, inclusivity, and universal design in intelligent systems;
- Cognitive models and user experience (UX) in adaptive systems;
- Trust, transparency, and ethics in intelligent interaction;
- Brain–computer interfaces and neural interaction design;
- Emotion-aware and affective computing in HCI;
- Cross-cultural perspectives in interface design;
- Evaluation methods for and usability studies on intelligent systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
