Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human–machine interfaces are transforming into tools for conveying increasingly natural modes of communication between human and machine. Advances in the development of extended-reality technologies and fully immersive wearable devices are turning computers into portals to new worlds (i.e., the Metaverse), in which reality will overlap and blend with the digital, creating virtual–real fusion spaces. The Metaverse even holds the promise of facilitating people’s accessibility and inclusion in society, breaking down boundaries and democratizing access to key goods, services and experiences.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide a forum for colleagues to report their most up-to-date research findings in the field of HCI, focusing on the impact of XR technologies, spanning virtual, augmented, and mixed reality applications and their potential to change human perception and interaction with systems in society.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design for inclusion in the Metaverse;
- Novel human–machine interaction for Industry 4.0;
- XRT and metaverse for education;
- XRT and metaverse for cultural heritage;
- Innovative methods and tools for UX assessment in metaverse;
- New methods to support UX design for metaverse;
- Intelligent and emotion-aware interfaces in metaverse;
- Multimodal and immersive interfaces;
- Haptics interfaces.
