Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue explores advances in computer graphics and visual computing which have helped to reshape the future of visual technologies and have been used for innovative applications. This Special Issue highlights developments along the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision, and human–computer interaction. This Special Issue serves as a platform for showcasing both theoretical advancements and practical applications, bridging the gap between academia and industry.

Key topics include the following: (1) novel computer graphics (CG) techniques such as procedural content generation, neural rendering, novel animation techniques, immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences, advancements in GPU programming and parallel computing, and game technologies and serious games; (2) novel computer vision (CV) techniques such as 3D reconstruction, object tracking, and object recognition; and (3) HCI research related to CG and CV such as novel VR interfaces, the detection of user parameters such as emotion and cognitive load, and the customization and personalization of interfaces. Special attention is given to how visual computing is enhancing accessibility, user experience, and communication across different media.

This Special Issue also explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in visual computing, focusing on how AI is revolutionizing animation, image synthesis, predictive simulations, 3D content generation, and scene interpretation. Contributions from renowned experts and emerging scholars will provide a comprehensive overview of current trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field.

By examining these themes, this Special Issue offers valuable insights into the transformative potential of visual computing, influencing industries from entertainment and gaming to healthcare, education, security, logistics, and manufacturing.

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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
