So.. I didn’t have much time those days to update the blog although the VR field is still very active. The french VR association has elected a new president, the 3DUI Grand Prize is going well, soon the IEEE VR 2010 conference will be held near Boston in March, and Laval Virtual 2010 is getting ready for opening in April.
As for me, and as the title of this post suggests, I’m leaving Virtools / Dassault Systèmes.
I won’t discuss the reasons here. It’s been a tough, personnal and political decision, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
I’ll really miss working with David, Geoffrey, the whole Virtools team and some of Dassault Systèmes’ people. I love you, you know who you are! Thanks for the amazing time with you, for all you’ve taught me and all that we shared.
But I won’t miss the changes that DS has forced on us.
Now that I’m regaining freedom, I’ll start by some travelling (is there some VR in Sri Lanka or Costa Rica ??). Oh and I’ve updated my photo gallery.
Then I’ll probably have some time if you need my VR expertise. I’ll remind you of that later but we can already start to discuss it 😉
Here’s to a bright new future !
yeah …. yes I know who I am 😉
Have fun abroad in your next position ! I’ll look forward to your blog updates!
Thanks Pierrick !
But I’m not going abroad, my base camp remains Paris !
May the force be with you.
My best wishes for your professional future.
“Bon voyage” and don’t forget to post some of your photos later, too! 🙂
Btw. if you ever pass by Berlin, let me know.
Good Luck for your next challenge!
Sorry I forgot a word in my sentence: have fun abroad AND in your future position ! Cheers.
@Nawash: Do or do not, there is no try!
@Dom: Thanks, I will 🙂
@Mathieu: Thank you!
@Pierrick: That’s what I thought, just to make things clear 🙂
Good luck to you Sebastien!
If during traveling you will be in Ukraine, drop me a message 😉
Dont worry,
as we always say in Greece. “If one dorr closes, other 2 open.”
Drop me a mail if you come by athens.
We were one of the first to produce Edutainment applications for VR , oepning VR systems (CAves/Domes/Immersadesks/Powerwalls) to the public in our High Tech Museum.

You should get the Fuji stereo camera to bring back 3-D memories from your trips:

And enjoy your freedom!
@Maxim : Thanks, I will 🙂
@Dimi : That sounds like what I’d love to do!
@Sylvain : I’ll have to give it a try…
