Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Virtual Reality (VR) has rapidly evolved from an experimental interface to a transformative technology with real-world impacts across industries such as healthcare, education, engineering, entertainment, and manufacturing. The continuous development of immersive hardware, real-time rendering techniques, human–computer interaction models, and intelligent systems is expanding the boundaries of what VR can achieve.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and developments in Virtual Reality, focusing on the underlying technologies, system architectures, and a broad range of innovative applications. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore advances in VR hardware and software, immersive environments, multisensory interaction, simulation platforms, XR integration, and domain-specific implementations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
VR hardware and wearable devices;
- Real-time graphics and rendering in VR;
- Human–computer interaction and UX in immersive environments;
- Haptics and multimodal interfaces;
- VR in medicine, rehabilitation, and mental health;
- Training, simulation, and educational applications;
- Virtual environments for industrial and engineering tasks;
- Cross-reality (XR) and AI-driven VR systems;
- Evaluation and validation of VR experiences.
We especially encourage interdisciplinary contributions and innovative applications that demonstrate the practical potential of VR in solving complex problems or creating new user experiences.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
