Liquid Crystal Soft Actuators Combining liquid crystal actuators and existing technologies of virtual reality and augmented reality will produce a new world of mixed reality with visual, auditory, and somatosensory interactions. In article number 2009835, Yanlei Yu and co‐workers review the latest progress of liquid crystal actuators in the aspects of mechanical outputs, environmental mimicry, and fine‐tuning of surface textures and roughness, which accelerates the development of mixed reality toward practical applications.
