Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The digital media landscape is undergoing a deep transformation, driven by rapid technological advancements. In today's world, digital media is an integral part of our lives, shaping the way we conduct a broad range of daily activities, including communication, information consumption, entertainment, and interaction with one another. The constant evolution of social media platforms, the proliferation of audiovisual streaming services, the advancements in immersive technologies, and the appearance of generative AI tools profoundly impact the way we create, distribute, and engage with digital content.
This Special Issue aims to explore the cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of digital media. It will investigate how innovations such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, big data analytics, 5G technology, IoT, and blockchain are being applied to enhance and revolutionize the digital media experience. Furthermore, it will also examine current advancements in audiovisual production, such as virtual production, interactive media, transmedia storytelling, AI in content creation, etc.
This Special Issue will investigate these advancements to provide a comprehensive understanding of their impact on content creation, distribution strategies, user engagement, and overall media consumption.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Applications in content creation, personalization, and predictive analytics.
- Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): Innovations in immersive media experiences and their implications for entertainment, news consumption, and education.
- Big Data and Analytics: Utilization of large datasets in data-driven media strategies (e.g., audience segmentation, content personalization, marketing and promotion, predicting media success, script development in audiovisual productions, etc.)
- Blockchain Technology: Enhancing transparency, security, and rights management in digital media transactions.
- Internet of Things (IoT): Integration of smart devices in audiovisual content production environments and digital communication platforms.
- 5G and Beyond: Impact of next-generation connectivity on media distribution, live streaming, and real-time interaction.
- Human–Computer Interaction: Advancements in interfaces, user experience design, and accessibility in digital media platforms.
- Digital Ethics and Privacy: Addressing ethical considerations and privacy concerns in the deployment of advanced technologies.
