Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) have emerged as two transformative technologies that are revolutionizing various aspects of our lives. The integration of AI and VR has led to groundbreaking advancements, opening up new avenues for research and development across multiple domains. To explore the recent progress and potential synergies between these two fields, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the "Recent Progress of Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Reality". Authors are encouraged to submit original research papers, review articles, case studies, and perspective pieces that provide valuable insights and contribute to advancing the state of the art in AI-enabled VR technologies. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present their latest research findings, innovative solutions, and practical applications at the intersection of AI and VR. We invite submissions on topics including but not limited to the following:

  • AI-driven VR content creation and generation;
  • Intelligent virtual agents and avatars in VR environments;
  • Machine learning and deep learning techniques for enhancing VR experiences;
  • AI-powered interaction and user interface design in VR;
  • Adaptive and personalized VR systems using AI algorithms;
  • Applications of AI in VR-based education, training, and simulation;
  • Ethical considerations and challenges in AI-driven VR systems;

Anger impairs a driver’s control and risk assessment abilities, heightening traffic accident risks. Constructing a multimodal dataset during driving tasks is crucial for accurate anger recognition. This study developed a multimodal physiological -vehicle driving dataset (DPV-MFD) based on drivers’ self-reported anger during simulated driving tasks. In Experiment 1, responses from 624 participants to anger-inducing videos and driving scenarios were collected via questionnaires to select appropriate materials. In Experiments 2 and 3, multimodal dynamic data and self-reported SAM emotion ratings were collected during simulated and real-vehicle tasks, capturing physiological and vehicle responses in neutral and anger states. Spearman’s correlation coefficient analysis validated the DPV-MFD’s effectiveness and explored the relationships between multimodal data and emotional dimensions. The CNN-LSTM deep learning network was used to assess the emotion recognition performance of the DPV-MFD across different time windows, and its applicability in real-world driving scenarios was validated. Compared to using EEG data alone, integrating multimodal data significantly improved anger recognition accuracy, with accuracy and F1 scores rising by 4.49% and 9.14%, respectively. Additionally, real-vehicle data closely matched simulated data, confirming the dataset’s effectiveness for real-world applications. This research is pivotal for advancing emotion-aware human–machine- interaction and intelligent transportation systems. Full article
