Recent Advances in Human-Computer Interaction

Dear Colleagues,

The field of human–computer interaction (HCI) is concerned with the design of interactive information technology, aimed to be operated by human users, focusing on interaction technology and the design of the user interface for an improved user experience (UX).

Some interaction technologies, such as ubiquitous computing, augmented reality, virtual reality, wearable sensors, immersive data visualization, or gesture-based interaction, have gone mainstream. New domains have emerged that require the design of an appropriate HCI, such as autonomous vehicles, personal health-monitoring devices, Industry 4.0, or fintech.

The base of users of IT has been growing steadily, with mobile devices being the first Internet-connected computers that millions of users will use, including older users, who are embracing technology when they have enough motivation and the UX is specifically designed taking into account their different cognitive and physical abilities.

In this Special Issue, we aim to provide a forum for colleagues to report the most up-to-date research results in the HCI field, as well as comprehensive surveys of the state-of-the-art in relevant specific areas. Both original contributions with theoretical novelty and practical solutions for addressing particular problems in HCI are solicited.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Interaction technologies for sensor-based environments.
• Visualization of data from heterogeneous sources.
• HCI in smart and AI-based systems.
• Human–robot interaction.
• Ubiquitous computing and implicit interaction.
• UX design for older users.
• Mobile interaction design.
• Multimodal interaction.
• Usability of IoT systems.
• HCI in eHealth and wellbeing systems.
• Brain–computer interaction.
• New HCI methods for UX design and evaluation.
• Intelligent user interfaces.
• 3D user interfaces for virtual and augmented reality systems.
• Haptics interfaces.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published immediately. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
