Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have been evolving at a fast pace, to the point where it is possible to create solutions that can be integrated seamlessly into real use cases. These solutions can be leveraged in a range of application areas, such as entertainment, education, medicine, and tourism. This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of XR, MR, and VR to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments, challenges, and research directions in the field. Novel research articles, comprehensive reviews, and survey articles are all welcome.
The key topics covered include the following:
- Advances in XR, MR, AR, and VR hardware and software technologies;
- User experience, perception, and the cognitive aspects of XR, MR, AR, and VR, including multisensory stimulation;
- Collaborative and social XR, MR, AR, and VR environments;
- Interaction techniques in immersive experiences;
- The industrial applications of XR, MR, AR, and VR.
