Please note that the first hour of this event is for the talk and the second hour for Q&A and further discussion/interactions. The abstract is below:
Interactive interfaces play important role in Human-Machine interaction for Virtual and Extended Reality. They are intended to establish seamless communication between the human sensory channels systems and the digital world. However, the cost and complexity of use did not facilitate the adoption of these interfaces by the XR community. This seminar will present the current XR interfaces (such as haptics and spatialized audio feedback), the mechanisms of sensory integration and their related applications. A vision of the future evolution of sensory feedback systems will also be presented.
Dr Samir Garbaya has is an academic and researcher with extensive experience in industry and in teaching and scientific research in engineering design, manufacturing, and the virtualization of health care. His expertise is in extended realty (XR) and related applications in manufacturing and design, Human-machine interaction, sensory integration for multimodal 3D interaction, gamification of learning and medical rehabilitation. He has obtained several national and international (EU) funding through collaborative projects leading to the valorization of his research by scientific publications and the impact on industry through technology transfer. He is a founding member of the French Virtual Reality Society and chaired the first World Conference on Innovative Virtual Reality (http://www.asmeconferences.org/WINVR09/) and continues to be a program committee member steering many international conferences in virtual reality. He participated to the development of engineering and master programs in universities and engineering schools in France and in Tunisia since 2002 and he served as a reviewer of national (National Network of software Technology) and international research projects since 1998. His outputs have been continuously applied to enrich his research and teaching, defining future research directions and the educational programs in higher education.
