Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue presents new trends in theoretical, basic, and applied research at the interdisciplinary boundary between human–computer interaction, artificial intelligence, psychology, and engineering that promote advanced interactive systems and technologies for specific applications. Human–computer interaction encompasses all types of interfaces, from traditional graphical user interfaces to new natural user interfaces, brain–computer interfaces, and ambient intelligence systems. The development of effective collaboration tools depends on the performance of these advanced interaction paradigms.
Researchers are invited to submit their latest findings and results in the form of full articles or reviews. Topics of interest include the design and development of new interaction techniques, their usability and user experience evaluation, cognitive and perceptual studies of human–computer interaction and their applications in remote collaboration, virtual and augmented reality, adaptive user interfaces, and accessible technologies. This Special Issue also accepts articles that address the potential for enhancing human capabilities through interaction with computers in various fields, such as education, healthcare, and industry.
