Special Issue on Prototyping and Developing Real-World Applications for
Extended Reality

The Virtual Reality Journal, published by Springer Nature, announces a call
for papers to appear in a special edition that will focus on the
transformative impact of Extended Reality (XR), encompassing Virtual
Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality, on real-world applications
and end-user development.

================ FOCUS OF THIS CALL ================

We invite submissions of original and mature research papers that explore
the potential of Extended Reality (XR) technology in various real-world
applications, such as medical training simulations, immersive data
visualization, and remote collaboration. This special issue aims to
showcase cutting-edge XR applications and to provide empirical evidence
supporting their effectiveness in solving real-life tasks. Additionally, we
seek contributions that address the open challenges in enabling end
users—be they developers, domain experts, or regular users—to create,
program, and tailor XR experiences to their specific goals, interests,
needs, and abilities.

We are particularly interested in rigorous studies that demonstrate the
benefits of XR in practical scenarios, alongside innovative applications,
tools, approaches, and interfaces that streamline XR development or
prototyping,  all supported by thorough evaluation. For example, involving
the different stakeholders in the configuration, adaptation, and management
of the environment. The integration of technologies such as Machine
Learning, LLMs and Virtual Agents with XR are expected to be significant
emerging themes.

The special issue aims to highlight the transition of XR technology from
theoretical concepts to practical, impactful applications, emphasizing the
significance of end-user development.

================ IMPORTANT DATES ================


- Submission open: October 1st, 2024

- Paper submission deadline: January 31st, 2025

- Anticipated first decision: 2-3 months after submission

Earlier submissions are encouraged. Papers will be published as soon as
they are accepted.

================ PUBLISHING MODEL ================


Virtual Reality is a fully open-access (OA) journal. All articles will be
freely available to readers worldwide, ensuring the widest possible
dissemination and reuse. Transforming Virtual Reality to a full OA
demonstrates Springer Nature commitment to open research, providing
researchers with OA publication venues that enhance their visibility and
comply with funder and institutional requirements. See the FAQs for more
information: https://link.springer.com/journal/10055/updates/25856886

================ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ================


Authors should prepare their manuscript in line with the Virtual Reality
Guide to Authors available at
https://link.springer.com/journal/10055/submission-guidelines.

Authors should submit through the online submission site at
https://submission.springernature.com/new-submission/10055/3 and select
“Prototyping and Developing Real-World Applications for Extended Reality"
when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to the
topics of the special issue.

All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance,
significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality
of presentation, by at least three independent reviewers. It is the policy
of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission,
be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any
time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by
the Editor in Chief.

On behalf of the guest editors,
