Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in electronics, sensing technologies, and computational methods have accelerated the development of immersive and intelligent interactive systems. In particular, the convergence of human–computer interaction (HCI), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and computer vision (CV) has enabled new forms of perception-driven, adaptive, and real-time interaction supported by advanced electronic hardware and software systems. These technologies collectively form the foundation of next-generation interactive platforms, with applications ranging from immersive media and intelligent environments to education, healthcare, and industrial training.
Virtual reality systems rely on sophisticated electronic components, including high-resolution displays, motion tracking sensors, wearable devices, and embedded systems, to deliver immersive user experiences. Artificial intelligence enhances these systems through data-driven perception, learning, and decision-making, while computer vision enables real-time understanding of users and environments via visual sensing and signal processing. The tight integration of these technologies raises important research challenges related to system architecture, interaction latency, computational efficiency, robustness, and user-centered design.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in electronic systems, algorithms, and applications that support human–computer interaction in immersive and intelligent environments. We welcome high-quality original research articles and review papers that address theoretical developments, system implementations, experimental evaluations, and application-driven studies at the intersection of HCI, VR, AI, and computer vision, with a particular emphasis on electronic and computational aspects.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Electronic Systems and Architectures for HCI and VR;
- Virtual, Augmented, Mixed, and Extended Reality (VR/AR/MR/XR) Technologies;
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Interactive Systems;
- Computer Vision and Visual Sensing for Human-Centered Interaction;
- Wearable Devices and Embedded Systems for Immersive Interaction;
- Multimodal Interaction and Sensor Fusion;
- Real-Time Signal Processing and Low-Latency Interaction;
- Intelligent Virtual Agents and Avatar Systems;
- User Studies, System Evaluation, and Performance Analysis;
- Applications of HCI and VR Systems in Smart Environments, Healthcare, Education, and Industry.
This Special Issue invites contributions from researchers and practitioners in electronics, computer science, and related disciplines to share their latest findings and foster interdisciplinary collaboration in the development of intelligent and immersive electronic systems.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
