Sensors and Wearables for AR/VR Applications

Written By Michael Browne

DiCiM partner Dr. Mario Lorenz of Technische Universität Chemnitz is editing a Special Issue for MDPI Sensors called "Sensors and Wearables for AR/VR Applications". IF 3.4

We welcome contributions that explore the integration of wearable sensors and advanced haptic feedback systems to create immersive and interactive experiences. Research addressing the concept of presence in virtual environments is particularly encouraged, as it plays a crucial role in user engagement and effectiveness. Prototypes of both sensors and actuators are particularly encouraged, emphasizing innovative designs that can advance the field.

Submissions should focus on a range of applications, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Training and Simulation: Innovative approaches to using XR technologies in educational settings, professional training, and skill development.

  • Healthcare: Prototyping wearable solutions for medical applications, enhancing patient care through immersive simulations and remote monitoring.

  • Agriculture: Utilizing sensors to support precision farming and training applications in XR environments, improving productivity and sustainability.

  • Semiconductors: Exploring the manufacturing and design processes enhanced by XR technologies for training and visualization.

  • Aerospace Industry: Research on wearable technologies for pilot training and maintenance procedures, enhancing safety and efficiency.

  • Automotive Industry: Investigating the use of wearables and haptic feedback in vehicle design and driver training simulations.

  • Maritime Applications: Developing XR solutions for ship navigation and crew training, leveraging spatial computing for enhanced situational awareness.

Submissions welcome include : original research, prototype developments, and case studies that illustrate practical applications of sensors and wearables across these sectors. The goal is to advance the understanding of how these technologies can shape the future of XR, making significant contributions to both academia and industry.

If you're working on a project that aligns with these themes, we'd love to hear from you!
