Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of Digital Reality (DR) involves technical solutions using augmented and virtual environments—including audiovisual and tactile/haptic modalities—with a view towards functionally integrated digital ecosystems. DR can be expected to be assisted not only by increasingly high-fidelity I/O devices, but also by real-time, high-speed network connections, and sophisticated AI methods. Furthermore, DR research also focuses on cognitive aspects and human factors, i.e., how users perceive and interact with fully immersive 360-degree scenarios. The various forms of "Internet of somethings" are now covered under the umbrella term Internet of Digital Reality (IoD), which deals with digital cognitive entities and their networked communication. In the era of 5G enhanced communication, virtual environments, metaverses, multimodal HCI and widespread AI solutions, the synthesis of interdisciplinary fields is inevitable. This Special Issue invites technical papers with a focus on any combination of technologies contributing to the vision of Digital Reality.
