In recent years, we have tried to perfect AI algorithms to act more human-like such as being able to make decisions. In addition, mobile technology is being developed with AI algorithms. Virtual reality is a form of interaction between humans and computers in which a real or imaginary environment is simulated. Users interact with that world and manipulate it. Virtual reality systems have emerged as a disruptive technology to improve the performance of current computer graphics techniques and to address the intractable problems associated with interactions between humans and computers.

Increased development in VR technology and hardware based on smartphones has recently led to popular interest in virtual and augmented reality. Research including graphical simulation, modelling, user interfaces, and AI technology is currently being further explored. There can be many forms of implanting AI in an application, such as algorithms in deep learning. AI is the future of engineering and it will bring advantages to everyday life by leveraging technologies such as computers and algorithms to promote regular tasks and advance tasks. In certain cases, AI can increase the efficacy of promoting and strengthening human activities. In the area of interdisciplinary research, virtual reality (VR) is recently emerging. Using computer hardware, software and virtual reality technologies can be replicated dynamically, such as VR technology with athletic training, simulation, and smartphone technology. VR can also be implemented in Industry 4.0, IoT, crypto chips, home systems, etc. AI algorithms can assist with this implementation. To avoid security attacks, high integrity of resources and privacy of nodes are required, and AI can provide a solution, mainly when used in gaming applications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original research articles and review articles highlighting research in implementing artificial intelligence in augmented and virtual reality systems. The aim of this special issue is to measure advances in mobile technologies with respect to the use of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Submissions focusing on mobile machine modelling, emulation, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and computing is welcome. We hope that this Special Issue also attracts research that can improve our understanding in improving games, graphical displays on mobile communication networks, etc.
