Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term for all the technologies that add virtual elements to the real-world environment to any extent. It includes Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), and anything in between. VR is a three-dimensional, computer-simulated virtual environment that can be explored and interacted with across 360 degrees. AR is characterized by the real-time use of digital elements in a real-world environment. MR is an interactive environment that combines a computer-simulated environment with a real-world environment. XR has been applied in various fields, including healthcare, education, training, gaming, entertainment and so on.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of a wide range of research papers related to XR, ranging from innovative techniques and applications to comprehensive reviews on the application of XR in various domains. We are seeking original, high-quality submissions related to topics such as extended reality (including virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, etc.), the metaverse, and their applications.
