The “Cognitive aspects of Virtual reality” conference aims to gather original works on the cognitive capabilities of humans and AI within the realm of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) Extended Reality (XR), and Mixed Reality (MR) environments. The conference is strongly motivated by a holistic view of “reality-plus-capability” technologies, which are expected to take the human-ICT combo behind cognitive infocommunications to the next level of a global cognitive cloud.
