This book provides the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality (AIVR 2024). The focus is interdisciplinary in nature, and includes research on all aspects of artificial intelligence and virtual reality, from fundamental development to the applied system. It constitutes a great honour and pleasure for us to publish the selected excellent works and recent research trends of scholars and graduate students from the 8th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality (AIVR 2024) (Fukuoka, Japan, July 19-21, 2024), hosted and organized by Fukuoka Institute of Technology in conjunction with other four universities and Beijing Huaxia Rongzhi Blockchain Technology Institute. The topics of AIVR 2024 cover system techniques, performance, and implementation; content creation and modelling; cognitive aspects, perception, user behaviour; AI technologies; interactions, interactive and responsive environments; AI/VR applications and case studies. These technologies have the potential to support AI and VR systems in many areas of production, management, business, healthcare, networks, intelligent control, traffic management, logistics, crisis response, human interfaces, etc.

Presents recent advances on artificial intelligence and virtual reality Discusses the outcomes of AIVR 2024, held in Fukuoka, Japan, during July 2024 Serves as a reference guide for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry

Kazumi Nakamatsu received the Ms. Eng. and Dr. Sci. from Shizuoka University and Kyushu University, Japan, respectively. He is a full Professor at School of Human Science and Environment, University of Hyogo, Japan. His research interests encompass various kinds of logic and their applications to Computer Science, especially paraconsistent annotated logic programs and their applications. He has developed some paraconsistent annotated logic programs called ALPSN(Annotated Logic Program with Strong Negation), VALPSN(Vector ALPSN), EVALPSN(Extended VALPSN) and bf-EVALPSN (before-after EVALPSN) recently, and applied them to various intelligent systems such as a safety verification based railway interlocking control system and process order control. He is an author of over 150 papers and 20 book chapters, and 10 edited books published by prominent publishers. Kazumi Nakamatsu has chaired various international conferences, workshops and invited sessions, and he has been a member of numerous international program committees of workshops and conferences in the area of Computer Science. He serves as Founding Editor of the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems(IJRIS) by Inderscience Publisher(UK) and an editorial board member of many international journals. He has contributed numerous invited lectures at international workshops, conferences, and academic organizations. He also is a recipient of some conference and paper awards, etc.
