User experience (UX) is a basic characteristic for the success of an interactive system. Currently, UX is taken into account in many ways in the different kind of interactive systems that are developed in the diverse existing technologies. However, new paradigms such as ambient intelligence and immersive systems require considering full new ways of dealing with UX in such systems. This includes the definition of new frameworks, guidelines, heuristics, and so on, for both developing systems that take UX into account and evaluating UX in existing systems.

This special issue is intended to present and discuss new approaches for UX in environments of ambient intelligence, immersive systems, and related systems. The works submitted should be high quality papers which suppose a relevant contribution to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

User experience in augmented reality environments
User experience in ambient intelligence environments
User experience in virtual reality environments
User experience in immersive games
User experience in collaborative immersive environments
User experience in immersive e-learning systems
User experience in immersive e-health systems
Awareness support for improving user experience in immersive and ambient systems
