Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, computational optics have enabled various devices that enhance the user experiences in next-generation graphical user interfaces, targeting virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) applications. These computational and optical devices include display systems or sensing modalities in VR/AR near-eye displays. Often, the information from such sensors helps shape the visuals in the display system, leading to gains in bandwidth, power, and computational expenses. Thus, works related to combining new sensors with display design is utterly fascinating in this research space.
Our Special Issue on computational optics in next-generation user interfaces targets to attract state of the art in:
- Eye/Gaze tracking devices;
- Sensing modalities for vital signs (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygenation);
- Display devices including holographic and classical approaches;
- Optical component design for sensors, cameras, and displays;
- Human perception-driven optical design in sensors, cameras, and displays;
- Algorithms for learning optical design space related to sensors, cameras, and displays.
We aim to deliver a unique set of papers that help reshape the next in computational optics in next-generation graphical user interfaces. We welcome works from all the scientists and expert engineers in the relevant research domains. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the guest editors for more details.

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. Photonics 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
