Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (VAMR) have introduced a lot of convenience to design, manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance work, whose efficiency has been greatly improved based on simulated virtual models and their information, both in virtual and real environments. With the development of hardware of VAMR, more and more remarkable academic research and practical applications of VAMR in product realization process are emerging. There are still many challenges in VAMR under the Industrial 4.0 environment, considering both the technology and human factors. VAMR integration with other technologies, e.g., digital twin and cobot, is also a strong and growing area in the manufacturing industry. In the digital economy era, VAMR is a key technology for shortening lead times, reducing cost, and improving the quality of products. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of VAMR in the manufacturing sector. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey 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.
