Our team works on various classes of problems linked with the description, modelling and evolution of virtual worlds. These worlds are classically tridimensioned; they can be multidimensioned in scientific visualisation.
The description of a virtual world begins with the modelling of entities and the definition of relations between them. The aim of our research is to facilitate the task of creation of new virtual environments : modelling of new complex objects and layout of numerous objets in the scene.
Our research activity about rendering is articulated between two directions : lighting simulation and real-time rendering.
Behavioural simulation, artificial live and links to distributed virtual reality: the main activity in our group is focused on behavioural simulation.
Virtual Reality uses the previously described domains and adds to them interaction and cooperation. We are mainly interested in the design and management of networked virtual environments.
