Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The terms “virtual reality” (VR) and “augmented reality” (AR), as well as the recently coined “mixed reality” (MR), are collectively called “immersive experiences”. These technologies, coupled with the more conventional field of computer graphics, reflect the degree of digital content presented to users as they move from the real world towards a virtual world experience. They are also changing the way we manipulate and interact with multimedia content.
Originally, applications of immersive technologies were almost exclusively focused on entertainment and interactive gaming experiences. However, nowadays, research and industry are utilizing these technologies within education, health, manufacturing, telecommunications, human–machine interaction, and robotics, amongst others.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of papers discussing key issues, new approaches, ideas, open problems, innovative applications, and trends in the following (non-exclusive) areas:
- Virtual reality;
- Augmented and mixed reality;
- Computer graphics;
- Human–computer interaction;
- Rendering and textures;
- Fluid simulation and control;
- Meshes and topology;
- Visual simulation and aesthetics;
- Computer animation;
- Geometric computing;
- Robotics and vision;
- Scientific visualization;
- Machine learning for graphics;
- Applications of VR/AR in medicine;
- Applications of VR/AR in cultural heritage;
- Applications of VR/AR in industry;
- Applications of VR/AR in education.
