National Initiatives

TurboTouch (ANR, Oct 2014-2018)

Participants : Géry Casiez [correspondant] , Nicolas Roussel, Thomas Pietrzak.

Touch-based interactions with computing systems are greatly affected by two interrelated factors: the transfer functions applied on finger movements, and latency. Little is actually known on these functions, and latency only recently received attention in this context. This project aims at transforming the design of touch transfer functions from black art to science to support high-performance interactions. We will precisely characterize the functions used and the latency observed in current touch systems. We will develop a testbed environment to support multidisciplinary research on touch transfer functions. We will use this testbed to design latency reduction and compensation techniques, and new transfer functions.

Partners: Inria Lille's NON-A team and the "Perceptual-motor behavior group" from the Institute of Movement Sciences.

Touchit (13th FUI, May 2012-2015)

Participants : Michel Amberg, Géry Casiez, Frédéric Giraud, Thomas Pietrzak, Nicolas Roussel [correspondant] , Betty Lemaire-Semail [correspondant] .

The purpose of this project is twofold. It aims at designing and implementing hardware solutions for tactile feedback based on programmable friction. It also aims at developing the knowledge and software tools required to use these new technologies for human-computer interaction. Grant for MINT is balanced on 272 keuro handled at University for L2EP, and 220 Keuros for Inria.

Partners: STMicroelectronics, CEA/LETI, Orange Labs, CNRS, EASii IC, MENAPIC and ALPHAUI.

Competitive clusters involved: Minalogic , Cap Digital and MAUD .

Smart-Store (12th FUI, 2011-2014, extended to 2015)

Participants : Samuel Degrande [correspondant] , Laurent Grisoni, Fabrice Aubert.

The aim of this project is to set up, in the context of retail, some middleware and hardware setup for retail interactive terminal, that allows customer to connect with their own smart-phone on a system that includes a large screen, and allows to browse some store offer, as well as pre-order and/or link to further reconsulting. SME Idées-3com leads this FUI, which also includes Immochan, Oxylane, and VisioNord. Grant for MINT is 301 Keuros. This project started on September 2012 (start of this project has been delayed due to administrative problems), for a duration of 36 months.

Associated competitivity cluster: PICOM (retail)
