Today’s proliferating Virtual Reality (VR) technology is setting the 
stage for the next revolution in visual entertainment. Real VR will make 
it possible to experience live-action movies, sports broadcasts, music 
events, etc. via head-mounted displays (HMDs) with an unprecedented 
sense of “being there.” By being able to elicit intensive personal 
experiences, prospective real VR applications range well beyond 
entertainment including virtual tourism, training, psychotherapy, and more.

For real VR to become reality, various aspects of computer graphics, 
vision, video technology, and applied perception must come together and 
work in concert. This special issue addresses the interdisciplinary 
research challenges toward creating complete, perceptual immersion into 
recorded and/or remote live-action scenes. Topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to:

- Omnidirectional live action capture
- Dynamic, omnidirectional scene reconstruction, representation, coding, 
and transmission
- Advanced rendering methods for head-mounted displays
- Perceptual issues of immersive displays
- Visio-aural immersion
- HMD user capture, avatar generation, and animation
- Enhancing the social experience of HMD use
- Applications for live-action content in immersive displays
