New Advances in Visual Computing and Virtual Reality

Dear Colleagues,

Visual computing and virtual reality are key technologies that will facilitate a major paradigm shift in the way users interact with data, and has been recognized as a viable solution for solving many critical needs. Both visual computing and virtual reality handle images and 3D models, i.e. computer graphics, image processing, visualization, computer vision, virtual and augmented reality, and video processing, but also include aspects of pattern recognition, human–computer interaction, and machine learning. In particular, machine learning ushers in a new wave of innovation to computer vision and computer graphics, which is gradually bringing visual computing and virtual reality to a whole new level.

The aim of this Special Issue of Electronics is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging applications, address recent breakthroughs in the broad area of visual computing and virtual reality, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), 3D interaction, visualization, computer graphics, computer vision, and deep learning. We invite researchers to contribute original and unique articles, as well as sophisticated review articles. Topics include, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Visualization;
• VR/AR/MR computer graphics;
• 3D object reconstruction;
• 3D deep learning;
• Signal and image processing;
• Deep learning for computer vision;
• Image and video communication;
• Tracking and sensing;
• Human-computer interaction;
• 3D display techniques and display devices;
• Modeling, simulation and animation;
• Emerging applications and systems, including techniques, performance, and implementation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

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.
