Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, a tremendously increasing interest in immersive mobile media applications and services has been observed. The different levels of computer-generated virtual worlds are supported by novel human–machine interfaces (HMIs) and head-mounted displays (HMDs). In particular, the paradigm of extended reality (XR) captures all real-and-virtual combined environments generated by computers including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) as well as 360-degree video streaming.
Furthermore, fifth generation (5G) mobile networks and beyond will be essential enablers to carry mobile immersive media beyond video gaming to the general consumer and industry markets. An increased portfolio of mobile immersive media including digital twins and holopresence are foreseen to shape sixth generation (6G) mobile networks. 5G and future mobile networks are being developed to also cater for ultra-reliable low-latency communications such as mobile XR (360-degree video, VR, AR, and MR).
The main goal of this Special Issue on advances in mobile immersive media in 5G and beyond is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry that work in this exciting field to report their latest research results, explore new ideas and solutions.
The topics of interest of this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fundamentals of audio, visual, and audio-visual perception in mobile immersive media;
- Experimental design methodologies for mobile immersive media;
- Psychophysical, psychophysiological, and behavioral studies for mobile immersive media;
- Image processing, video processing, and computer vision for mobile immersive media;
