Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Computer Graphics

Dear Colleagues,

It is estimated that over 80% of information perceived by humans comes through the sense of sight. Computer Graphics, and their recent applications in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology, provide methods of displaying digital information in a way that can be perceived and understood by humans. With displays that range from two-dimensional computer and mobile device screens, through to head mounted displays that visualize digital information situated in the real environment or replace the real environment with an entirely digital construction, the options and applications for rendering digital information are endless.

This focus of this Special Issue is on the visualization of digital information through Computer Graphics, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. The scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not limited to):

• New methods and techniques for rendering digital information;
• Comparisons and considerations of displaying digital information using the different technologies;
• Applications with a particular focus on the display of digital information;
• Other research with a focus of the display of digital information.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to act as a repository of state-of-the-art research on the display of digital information in the fields of Computer Graphics, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. This repository will supplement the existing literature by providing up to date research on this important aspect of Computer Graphics, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies that are often taken for granted.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Big Data and Cognitive Computing is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
