This Special Issue focuses on studies and applications covering the full range of activities related to the multi-disciplinary area of virtual prototyping, considering both original methodologies and novel applications about virtual prototyping by adopting virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality technologies. Papers investigating new methods for virtual prototyping, new applications in virtual environments for virtual engineering and manufacturing, advances in virtual simulation and virtual prototyping technologies as well as new trends to create interactive and highly realistic mixed environments are welcome.

Subject Coverage
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Virtual Prototyping techniques supporting mechatronics product design;
• Application of advanced Virtual/Adaptive Augmented/Mixed Reality technologies in mechatronics;
• Multimodal and multisensory interaction;
• Multi user virtual environments;
• Tools and methods for multidisciplinary and cooperative design;
• Virtual Prototyping and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing and simulation;
• Human-computer studies, validation of interaction and evaluation techniques;
• Virtual Prototyping oriented to create inclusive and adaptive smart objects;
• Innovative Virtual Prototyping-based approaches to handle complexity.
