Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human–computer interaction (HCI) is undergoing significant transformation as technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) are increasingly integrated into various domains. These advancements are reshaping the ways users interact with digital systems, presenting new opportunities to enhance user experience, increase system functionality, and improve interaction design across platforms.
This Special Issue on "Human-Computer Interaction: Advances, Challenges and Opportunities" seeks to explore how emerging technologies are influencing the field of HCI. Contributions that provide theoretical insights and practical approaches to addressing the evolving needs of users in this rapidly changing technological landscape are encouraged.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Interaction with AI agents in complex systems;
- Collaboration between users and AI agents;
- AI-driven personalized services and adaptive user interfaces;
- Emerging interaction possibilities in VR/AR/MR environments;
- New multi-modal interactions for natural user interfaces;
- New user-centered design methodologies for intelligent systems;
- Real-time prediction of user physiological states.
