This has led to new applications for virtual worlds in science, engineering, medicine, business, training, entertainment and arts to explore physical environments that exist remotely (telepresence), or simulated environments that do not or could not exist; to enrich existing environments (augmented realities); and to develop physical analogues for abstract quantitative and organizational data. Original, unpublished research and practice & experience papers are sought that address issues in the design, implementation, and evaluation of virtual worlds that use multimedia and multisensory technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to: multimedia and multisensory interfaces for virtual worlds software architectures for using multimedia in virtual worlds enhancing presence with multimedia and multisensory technologies distributed and multi-user virtual worlds knowledge-based multimedia world modeling manual and automated multimedia world design facilities navigation, search, and retrieval in large multimedia virtual worlds novel applications in visualizing, exploring and manipulating rich multimedia information spaces evaluation of the effectiveness of multimedia virtual worlds, and their impact on users, applications, and organizations 5 copies of each manuscript should be submitted to the special issue editor at the address below. For papers that do not include color pictures, email submission is encouraged.
