Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue highlights the progressive developments and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across multiple domains, with a particular emphasis on its integration with Extended Reality (XR), which encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). AI-enhanced XR technologies are transforming industries, solving complex problems, and contributing to advancements in engineering, biomedical sciences, medicine, public education, and beyond.
This Special Issue emphasizes how AI-powered techniques, including machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing, are revolutionizing immersive experiences and shaping a future that is more intelligent, interactive, and inclusive. Additionally, this Special Issue explores the ethical and societal challenges associated with AI-driven XR applications, ensuring that these technologies develop in a responsible and equitable manner.
This Special Issue will provide insights into the current state and future directions of AI-enhanced XR technologies, fostering a deeper understanding of their impact and potential. We invite high-quality contributions from academia and industry that address key advancements, applications, and challenges at the intersection of AI and XR.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
Core AI Technologies:
