Virtual reality

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.

Cavalcade system

More specifically, we work on aiding to efficiently distribute such a virtual environment on network of workstations or clusters according to the current main standard (HLA : DoD High Level Architecture - IEEE Standard number 1516 and Facility for Distributed Simulation Systems standard 1.0 of the Object Management Group). We also work on distributed virtual environments interoperability and on cooperative interaction in virtual worlds. Our current applications include Virtual Prototyping, Driving Simulations and Firefighter training.

Training system

Firefighter training is a collaboration with CHI teams in IRIT, one in the Speech Processing area and the other one in the ergonomic and user feedback field. The goal of this second application is to use a distributed virtual environment to train firemen officer to command according to scenarios. Characters are avatars or autonomous agents. Avatars are semi autonomous agent controlled by high level commands scheduling-triggering generated or captured motions.

Distributed virtual environment and behavioural simulation plat-forms are developed in our group and linked to a commercial animation plat-form.
