Section: Application Domains

Application Domains

The applications of this research include any situation where users need to create new, imaginary, 3D content. Our goal is to promote interactive digital design as a tool to quickly express, test and refine the models they have in mind, as well as an efficient way for communicating them to other people. Applying our work to different domains enables us to work with different categories of users, from digital experts to professionals who never used digital modeling and to the general public. This diversity will be instrumental for the validation of our models, algorithms and interactive systems. The application domains we are currently interested into are listed below.

• Industrial Design (Stefanie Hahmann, Jean-Claude Léon)

• Mechanical & Civil Enineering (Jean-Claude Léon, François Faure)

• Natural Sciences (François Faure, Olivier Palombi, Marie-Paule Cani)

  • Virtual anatomy: ontology, 3D modeling & animation

  • Plants: high level representation for plats geometry

• Education, Communication & Art (Olivier Palombi, Marie-Paule Cani, Rémi Ronfard)

  • Interactive tools for education

  • Design tools for visual artists and for the public

  • Theater: virtual staging & rehearsals

• Films & Games (Rémi Ronfard, Marie-Paule Cani, François Faure, Stefanie Hahmann)

  • Real-time, plausible clothing

  • Virtual cinematography & film editing

  • Interactive story telling
