Objectives
As we need generally a lot of time to create Virtual Environments, especially when they are collaborative ones, our aim is to provide a software environment and some software tools to facilitate the creation of such virtual environments: OpenMASK.
Main Results
- Scientific results:
-PhD thesis David Margery, PhD thesis, “Distributed real-time software environment for simulation upon a PC network” , 2001. Chadi El Zammar, PhD thesis, “3D Distant Collaborative Interactions within Virtual Environments : Managing Network Troubles”, 2005.
-Demonstrators Distributed interactions upon technical objects (kinematical parts of a car) between distant sites : the IRISA Siames Reality Center (Rennes) and the I3D Workbench (Rocquencourt) (VTHD results, 1999) Distributed interactions upon technical objects objects (kinematical parts of a car and physical objects to place within the car) with haptic feedback upon physical objects between distant sites : the IRISA Siames Reality Center (Rennes) and the I3D Workbench (Grenoble) (VTHD++ and PerfRV results, 2004) A virtual museum which is presented in the “Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie”. It is presented as part of the new permanent exhibition on images of this museum since June 2001. This virtual museum is visited by a group of thirty autonomous characters. The purpose of this application was to allow the real visitor to observe life evolving in a virtual world and to see how the modification of behavioural parameters (by using a touching screen) of one or more autonomous characters can affect this virtual life. Demonstration of the The Giat Virtual Training project (INRIA, Giat-Industries and ENIB), which uses very advanced VR technology in order to produce very customizable VR applications dedicated to training for industrial maintenance, with design of true reactive 3D objects with embedded behaviours and design of high level specification language in order to describe complex human activity (virtual activity in relationship with the real activity).
