Editorial Foreword

This special issue of the JIS (SBC Journal on Interactive Systems) acknowledges the best papers of the XVII Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Reality (SVR 2015). SVR – the most important event on Virtual and Augmented Reality in Brazil in the last 17 years. Academic and professional members of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) support the conference since its beginning. To attend reader expectations, the selected papers come from different sub-areas of the Virtual and Augmented Reality. The developments introduced in the papers reflect important recent advances and achievements by the community. More specifically, this issue includes studies on crowd simulation, gesture driven interaction, the use of a camera as a pointing device, and tracking by applying grayscale conversion.

Editorial Foreword

The special issue of the JIS (SBC Journal on 3D Inter- active Systems) acknowledging the best papers of the XII Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Reality (SVR 2010) was an important opportunity to present excellent papers in the Virtual and Augmented Reality field. The SVR is for more than 12 years the most important event on Virtual and Augmented Reality in Brazil, which is being conduct by academic professionals members of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) that is supporting the conference for so many years. Since this is the first special issue of JIS, we had selected papers to be included in the journal that fits the expectations of the readers. These papers were selected among the 10 best papers presented at the SVR 2010, and they come from different sub-areas of the Virtual and Augmented Reality. The development introduced in the papers present important new proposals and algorithms that might be used by several readers of the journal. The paper Exploring the Design of Transitional Hybrid User Interfaces authored by Daniela Trevisan, Felipe Carvalho, Alberto Raposo, Carla Freitas and Luciana Nedel, is about a discussion on how hybrid user interfaces should be managed in order to improve the feeling of immersion of the user in a virtual reality system. The second paper Expression Cloning Based on Anthropo- metric Proportions and Deformations by Motion of Spherical Influence Zones authored by Roberto C. Vieira, Creto Augusto Vidal, and Joaquim B. Cavalcante-Neto presented methods of mapping human facial expressions to virtual characters. This works was based on anthropometric proportions and geometric manipulations by moving influence zones of model with similar characteristics. The third paper Extending Brazilian DTV Middleware to Incorporate 3D Technologies authored by Daniel F. L. Souza, Liliane S. Machado, Tatiana A. Tavares explains how properly support for 3D content can be integrated on the new Brazilian Digital Television. The paper presents strategies and examples to prove their proposal. We would like to thank all the authors of this process that had to extend and adapted their papers as requested by both the submission and the reviewing process.

Editorial Foreword

This special issue of the JIS (SBC Journal on 3D Interactive Systems) is in the second year acknowledging the best papers of the Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Reality. In the SVR 2011 several interesting research projects in the field of Virtual and Augmented Reality appeared and among the best papers this issue presents two selected papers for the readers of JIS. The SVR is the most important event on Virtual and Augmented Reality in Brazil, which is being conducted by academic professionals’ members of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) that is supporting the conference for many years. The two papers in this issue were selected among the best papers presented at the SVR 2011. Although the technical implementation of the papers is different each other, they try to solve problems of communication and location. It is possible to note that the virtual and augmented reality is really changing our life style, and these papers show important ideas that can be directly applied by people around the world. The paper “xGroupware: Supporting Collaborative Cross-Reality Environments using Multiagents System” authored by Katia Vega, Débora Cardador, Hugo Fuks and Carlos Lucena, presents very modern proposals of meetings, combining the virtual and real in a way that users can really take advantage of the resources available to improve their communication. It is also important to say that the clever idea to use multi agents in the system as an autonomous way to perceive and interact with the situations of the meetings is amazing. Finally the integration of wearable computing devices in the system makes it very interesting and probably reflects meetings of the future. The second paper “A Case Study of Augmented Reality for Mobile Platforms” authored by Gabriela Tinti Vasselai, Dalton Solano dos Reis and Paulo Cesar Rodacki Gomes presents how the mobile devices can contribute to help our localization with the resources of augmented reality. The paper shows that the resources available in the mobile devices can be used to augmented reality purposes although some improvements in the mobile platforms must be done. We would like to thank all the reviewers of the process, the editors and staff that supported us with the submission system, and of course the authors that had to extend and adapt their papers in order to have some new content that makes this special issue an important reference point for virtual and augmented reality research.
