Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human–computer interactions (HCIs) stand out as a multidisciplinary field dedicated to the design and utilization of computer technology, facilitating interactions with digital content. The continuous advancement of information technologies has propelled HCIs into a new dimension, urging the need to embrace cutting-edge technologies and foster innovation.
The focus of this Special Issue is to explore the application of emerging technologies in developing innovative HCI solutions. The topics covered include, but are not limited to, innovative interfaces in extended reality (VR, AR, and MR), tactile and haptic feedback systems in HCIs, brain–computer interfaces, wearable technologies, conversational artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) in HCIs. Additionally, we explore the cognitive and emotional aspects of HCIs. This Special Issue welcomes comprehensive reviews and survey papers in addition to original research contributions.
Prof. Dr. Shana Smith
