Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the availability of innovative, powerful, and low-cost immersive devices, accompanied by the availability of increasingly high-performing computers and smartphones, has generated a growing interest in virtual and augmented reality technologies.
Moreover, the availability of extremely high-performing development environments, such as Web3D, Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, etc., allows the development of applications in a fast and very efficient way.
Scientific visualization represents a fundamental field of research for the understanding of properties often hidden in information and raw data. This sector has also benefited from the significant evolution that has been observed in both hardware and software technologies. This Special Issue aims to collect articles that can represent the state of the art in the development of virtual reality, augmented reality, and scientific visualization.
The Special Issue is focused on (but not limited to) the following themes:
- virtual reality systems;
- virtual reality tools and toolkits;
- virtual, augmented, and mixed reality;
- virtual reality languages (X3D, VRML, Collada, OpenGL, Swift);
- advances on 3D engines (Unity, Unreal Engine, Amazon Lumberyard, AppGameKit VR,
- steamVR, Oculus Studio, CryEngine, Godot, Blender);
- immersive virtual reality devices (digital gloves, motion trackers, body trackers, HMDs);
- virtual reality-based scientific visualization;
- multi-user and distributed virtual reality and games;
- immersive learning;
- molecular virtual reality techniques;
- virtual classes and practice;
- virtual laboratories;
- educational games;
- serious games;
- virtual reality applied to cultural heritage;
- virtual reality applied to medicine and surgery;
- VR systems for telecare and disabilities treatments;
- advances in scientific visualization;
- virtual reality UI/UX;
- reducing virtual reality sickness;
- virtual reality contents;
- virtual reality system developer training.

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