Applied Technology of Multimodal XR

Dear Colleagues,

XR (extended reality) applications have various fields, from education to entertainment. However, multimodal XR applications, with input/output technologies, are still at an early stage. For the input, there is not only head tracking, but also hand tracking, eye tracking, breathing sensing, and temperature sensing. For the output, there are visual displays as well as auditory displays, haptic displays, temperature displays, and in-air tactile displays. In addition to these SW/HW technologies, many other interaction technologies can be applied to multimodal XR, offering great opportunities in a variety of fields including healthcare, education, and entertainment.

In this Special Issue, we seek submission of original research for multimodal XR applications. Thus, we expect an extended understanding of multimodal XR and an improvement of various input/output technologies for XR. Furthermore, we look forward to exploring what the best way to apply technologies to XR is.
