With the advent of mixed reality (MR) technology, our living condition will be rapidly evolving into a kind of hybrid environment, in which both real and digitally generated virtual objects seamlessly exist and are engaging actively with each other. This will eventually lead to a revolutionary change to the ways we communicate, live, create, play, learn, and interact. No part of our life will not be affected by this impending revolution. Unlike VR, segmenting, recognizing and reconstructing real world objects
captured by MR devices and generating virtual objects on the fly is an essential requirement for MR applications. Although there is a rich set of tools and techniques available for these tasks, they are in general performed off-line and are not fit to the use of MR applications, where huge and dynamic geometric data generated on the fly are required to be processed in real time.

The goal of this special issue is to provide a common platform for researchers from relevant fields to share cutting-edge research on real-time real reality modelling and reconstruction, to showcase the latest development, innovations and success concerning geometric object recognition, reconstruction, as well as seamless interaction between real and virtual digital objects. This special issue seeks contributions relevant to, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Real 3D objects capturing
• Real reality object Modelling
• Geometric analysis in mixed reality applications
• Real shape and topology optimization
• Machine learning-based geometric design
• Data driven designs
• Generative geometric modelling
• Procedural geometric modelling
• Implicit modelling
• Explicit-implicit dual geometric modelling
• Explicit-implicit unified geometric representation
• Explicit-implicit mixed geometric modelling
• Real-Virtual mixed geometric modelling
• Cloud-based CAD technique
• High-accuracy reality modelling
• Material modelling
• Point cloud segmentation and classification
• 3D object recognition in point cloud
• Point cloud registration
• Gesture tracking techniques for mixed reality
• Person-specific hand modelling
• Person-specific face modelling
• Image-based shape modelling
• Tangible computing
• Patient-specific organ modelling
