Abstract

In this era of massive use of computers and other computational devices (e.g., low-cost wearable sensors, smartphones, other smart devices, etc.), the nature of digital data is becoming more complex and heterogeneous.

Highlights

These topics related to multisensory communication are highly universal, as they are of application in very different areas of knowledge, and they will open up new horizons for future research, including areas such as human computer interfaces, entertainment, arts, learning, medicine and wellness
Any research work dealing with these topics is of high novelty, and can be of relevance for the entire society: on the one hand, the different technologically-related industries that are committed to innovate in order to be competitive; on the other, the final users/consumers that demand new, improved solutions that offer more intuitive solutions and alternative access due to the increasing complexity of technologies
Multimodal Technologies and Interaction (MTI) is an open access journal focused on these exciting research topics, leading to worldwide dissemination opportunities, as anyone with an Internet connection can access their contents

Summary

Introduction

These topics related to multisensory communication are highly universal, as they are of application in very different areas of knowledge, and they will open up new horizons for future research, including areas such as human computer interfaces, entertainment, arts, learning, medicine and wellness. The recently expanded availability of broadband internet, the exponential growth in proliferation of mobile and wearable computing devices and high speed wireless internet access, have enabled a new era of hyperconnectivity, where the improvement of multisensory communication becomes critical in a 24/7 world [11]. Hyperconnectivity refers to the technology itself, and to the impact that this technology has on personal lives, business, government and societal behavior.
