Special Issue (25-04-01): Human-Computer Interaction in the Virtual Reality: Challenges and Solutions Posted on 2025-03-27

Background

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) plays a crucial role in defining how users engage with computer systems, especially in immersive environments like Virtual Reality (VR). The advancement of VR has introduced novel interaction techniques, replacing traditional input methods like keyboards and mice with motion tracking, gesture recognition, and eye-tracking systems. These technologies create an immersive virtual environment that enhances user engagement, leading to new challenges and opportunities in VR system design. By integrating cognitive and interaction design principles, VR systems can provide more intuitive and natural experiences. This study explores the impact of HCI methodologies on VR design strategies and highlights the usability challenges and solutions in enhancing user interaction within virtual environments.

Aim

The primary objective of this SI is to analyze how HCI methodologies influence VR design and to propose strategies for improving interaction efficiency, usability, and immersive experience. Additionally, this study aims to identify challenges in VR technology implementation and suggest future research directions to optimize human-computer interaction in virtual environments.
