The MINT team conducts research on the notion of extended interaction in
observed situations, covering contexts such as artistic performances, teaching,
but also rehabilitation (e.g. practitioner observing a patient) or collaboration
in general. More specifically, the aspects which we will be investigating
in the near future are :
Allowing spectators and collaborators of complex interactions to better
understand and appreciate them, by extending them using mixed reality
displays, with an application to artistic performances
Enriching interactions in the physical space with objects or other persons,
through gesture recognition and the integration of virtual components
(visual, auditory or haptic) with application to the cultural and medical
fields.
Complete existing tactile and gestural interfaces by adding multimodal
feedback, in order to enrich or modulate the user experience and their
possibilities of interaction with virtual content, with an application
to the field of data exploration.
A collaboration with Detjon Brahimaj and colleagues of the L2EP
was presented as a paper at the French
national conference on Human Computer Interaction : IHM 2023.
"Cross-modal interaction of stereoscopy, surface deformation and tactile feedback on the perception of texture roughness in an active touch condition"
The paper is accessible here.
A performance of the project
Vibrating Shapes in collaboration
with Sebastien Beaumont and Ivann Cruz, was selected to be presented at the
Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression 2023.
The "revealed" augmented reality technology designed by the team (presented here and here ) will be used in the cyber-opera "Terres Rares" created by Éolie Songe.
Vincent Reynaert will be presenting a paper entitled The Effect of Rhythm in Mid-air Gestures on the User Experience in Virtual Reality at INTERACT 2021.
Fatma Ben Guefrech presented the paper on "Revealable Volume Displays" at IEEE Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces. The paper also received a honorable mention.
The team will be presenting a paper at IEEE Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces 2021 entitled : "Reveable Volume Displays : 3D Exploration of Mixed-Reality Public Exhibitions. More details soon !
