Roles of the Collaborative eXtended Reality in the New Social Era&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/journal\/jimaging\/instructions\">Journal of Imaging<\/a> is an

solutions based on Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality which has transformed how people interact, work and communicate. Today the term XR is closely related to the Metaverse concept. It represents a collaborative and content-authoring platform that involves social media, video games, virtual meeting rooms, meeting places, etc. Furthermore, XR has allowed a paradigm like spatial computing to evolve rapidly. Indeed, through the scanning of real environments using new tools based on photogrammetry, laser scanning, lidar, RGB-D camera, and so on, computers are more and more aware of physical environments and can use this knowledge to blend digital and real worlds and connect users by providing innovative interaction methods.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Special Issue aims to communicate and disseminate recent tools, methodologies, and pipelines related to the collaborative and\/or authoring XR-based platforms. The goal is to show how XR can radically transform social interaction in any context. We specifically welcome papers containing original and mature research on XR applications based on collaboration and content authoring. A particular focus is given to everything concerning XR-based spatial computing technologies and their applicability in the most varied social contexts (e.g. work, entertainment, leisure, education, etc.).<\/p><p>Authors of accepted papers of the conference XR Salento 2022 are invited to submit an extended version of their papers to this Special Issue. All submitted papers will undergo the standard peer-review procedure. Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Conference papers should be cited and noted on the paper. Please note that submitted extended papers should contain at least 50% new content (e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases) and not exceed 30% copy\/paste from the original conference paper. All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Guest Editors:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Dr. Nicola Capece<\/strong> &#8211; Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Economics, University of Basilicata, Italy<\/p><p><strong>Prof. Ugo Erra<\/strong> &#8211; Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Economics, University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy<\/p><p><strong>Prof. Lucio Tommaso De Paolis <\/strong>\u2013 Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Lecce, Italy<\/p><p><strong>Dr. Giuseppe Caggianese<\/strong> \u2013 Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking, National Research Council of Italy, Napoli, Italy<\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>Keywords:<\/b><\/p><ul><li>XR-based collaborative architectures<\/li><li>Collaborative authoring tools\u00a0<\/li><li>New models to evaluate the impact of the XR\u00a0<\/li><li>Human-Computer interaction techniques to interact in collaborative environments<\/li><li>Spatial computing technologies for shared creation scenes<\/li><li>Emerging Technologies and Applications for collaborative XR-based environments<\/li><li>Proof-of-Concept in collaborative environments: Experimental prototyping and testbeds<\/li><\/ul><div><p>\u00a0A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/journal\/jimaging\/instructions\">Instructions for Authors<\/a>\u00a0page.\u00a0<\/p><p>Deadline for manuscript submissions: <strong>30 November 2022<\/strong>.<\/p><div>The Special Issue website can be reached at:<\/div><div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/journal\/jimaging\/special_issues\">https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/journal\/jimaging\/special_issues\/410C46LS5M<\/a><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special issues Special Issue: &#8220;eXtended Reality for Social Inclusion and Educational Purpose&#8221; Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
