Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New technologies for three-dimensional (3D) imaging and displays, 3D security, and 3D interaction have been pursued by scientists and engineers for decades. Three-dimensional imaging and displays are used in a wide range of applications, including education, healthcare, manufacturing, augmented reality, interaction, security, and more. This Special Issue focuses on 3D imaging displays, integral imaging 3D displays, holographic displays, autostereoscopic 3D displays, 3D data security, and 3D interaction technologies.
Integral imaging has the advantages of continuous viewpoint, full parallax, and no visual fatigue. It has been revived in the last decade as a promising method for massive 3D commercialization. Holographic display is based on the interference and diffraction of light to create 3D images. Autostereoscopic 3D displays employ the lenticular lens array to present a 3D source and and reconstruct a 3D image based on the principle of binocular parallax. Three-dimensional displays have been extensively studied in many research areas such as education, healthcare, and entertainment. Three-dimensional data security is the process of protecting private data and preventing data loss through unauthorized access. Three-dimensional interaction technology is the use of somatosensory interaction sensors (e.g., Kinect, Leap Motion, etc.) to control 3D images. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to promote the development of 3D technologies, security, and interaction and to encourage our colleagues to share and publish their research results by submitting academic papers.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
