Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, with the surge of Virtual Reality (VR) hardware and software, we are witnessing a new dawn for immersive and interactive applications. This new generation of applications calls for new approaches to defining, measuring, and implementing User Experience (UX) and advanced interaction methodologies.
Today, designing a high-resolution, quasi-realistic 3D environment is no longer enough to foster emotions and convey a compelling experience to users. In order to improve the state of the art, a number of additional factors must be taken into account. Coordination is required to enhance the User Experience inside a Virtual Reality environment as well as to provide advanced methods with which to interact with the virtual world in a collaborative manner with other remote participants.
This Special Issue offers an opportunity for researchers to present high-quality, original works on the improvement of UX in VR environments. Contributions focused on the enhancement of perception and involvement of users in VR environments, as well as methodologies for designing extended experience, innovative interaction approaches, and next-generation applications, are particularly welcome. Moreover, papers addressing the difficulties in designing hardware and architecture (both software- and network-oriented) for VR and Augmented Reality (AR) are of interest.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
