About this Research Topic
Immersive and Extended Reality technologies have gone through remarkable progress in recent years widening their audience and applications. Extended Reality (XR) has emerged as terminology to include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), confirming the extraordinary power those technologies have in supporting actions requiring enhanced presence, telepresence, and teleoperation [1,2,3].
Extended reality interfaces can increase user performance in mediated observations, explorations, monitoring, and interventions [4]. XR can also be combined with artificial intelligence algorithms and methods (including machine and deep learning) to further empower processing, visualization, and decision-making.
In this Special Issue, you are invited to submit contributions describing novel approaches and the use of extended reality interfaces in various applications. Contributions may also address the use of artificial intelligence methods in XR.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Immersive and MR interfaces for exploration, monitoring, and intervention
- Immersive/Extended telepresence and teleoperation
- XR in human-machine interaction and multimodal control
- Sensors for XR and multi-sensor stimulation
- AI-assisted monitoring and tele-control
