Description
This Special Issue of Electronics invites high-quality, original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore emerging trends, theoretical advancements, and practical applications in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for smart devices. As smart technologies increasingly permeate daily life, across mobile platforms, wearables, ambient systems, and IoT environments, there is a growing need for innovative interaction paradigms that enhance usability, user experience, and intelligent system responsiveness.We seek contributions that critically examine how users engage with smart devices and how HCI methodologies can be expanded or reimagined in response to rapid technological shifts. Submissions should align with the journal’s scope, emphasising the integration of electronics, AI, interaction design, and system performance in real-world contexts.
Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced interaction techniques: Gesture-based, voice-activated, eye-tracking, haptic, or brain-computer interfaces for smart and embedded devices.
- User experience (UX) design: Design strategies that address intuitiveness, comfort, accessibility, and personalisation across diverse smart platforms (e.g., smartphones, wearables, smart home systems).
- AI-enhanced HCI: Applications of machine learning and adaptive systems to enable intelligent, context-aware, and predictive interfaces.
- Multimodal and cross-device interaction: Frameworks and systems enabling seamless transitions between devices and multi-sensory user experiences.
- Cultural and social dimensions of HCI: User studies and design approaches that consider global diversity, ethical considerations, and the broader societal impact of smart technologies.
- Evaluation methods: Empirical studies and novel methodologies for evaluating usability, performance, and user engagement in smart device ecosystems.
Submissions should demonstrate rigorous methodology and clear contributions to the HCI and electronics research communities. Interdisciplinary and applied works, including prototype development and deployment studies, are especially welcome.
