Abstract
The special issue on “New Frontiers in Multimedia-based and Multimodal HCI” considers research in the area of multimedia-based and multimodal systems for advanced humancomputer interaction (HCI) for exploring and expanding on its frontiers. The special issue was inspired by the 2021 Edition of CHItaly, the biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter, held from 11 to 13 July 2021 in Bolzano, Italy. This is an active community that aims at advancing knowledge in the design, development, and application of novel methods, tools, and techniques for HCI. The special issue was promoted through an open call. Therefore, it includes a selection of extended versions of the best papers presented at the conference, besides other high-quality contributions. All submitted manuscripts underwent the same review process, with at least three independent reviewers assessing their relevance, significance, technical quality, and scholarship. The finally accepted papers are 11 out of a total of 28 submissions.
