This environment  can be imaginary, symbolic, or simulate real objects or situations. This  leads to three topics : creating an interactive virtual environment,  studying the human in this environment, and finally the immersion and  interaction of this person in the environment. We focus our research on  the third topic : the challenge is to involve as much as possible  natural human behaviours in the design of the interface. Moreover, the  interface design must consider both sensori-motor and cognitive levels.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is applied in our current research and always includes  evaluations. Our current works include :<br \/>\n&#8211; VR for design: The industry, especially automotive and aerospace, has  expressed a strong need for immersive tools to modify shapes and  volumes. The challenge is twofold : 1. offer easy to use and intuitive  shape deformation tools and 2. keep the data consistent with CAD  description. In the VR for design topic, we also conduct our research on  virtual reality immersive review of multiphysics simulations (thermal,  acoustic, or mechanic simulations). To address these challenges, we  offer interaction techniques and related visualization methods.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Visual interfacing in an immersive system: the goal is to quantify the  difference between natural and immersive vision and also to offer  techniques to improve visual perception in interactive systems. These  improvements aim at reducing visual fatigue, improve object shapes and  size perception, or propose seamless techniques to locally increase  display resolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; VR for therapy : We conduct immersion and interaction research in a  project meant to implements VR applications for the rehabilitation of  stroke patients, and also treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. The  objective is to develop a tool for the evaluation and the rehabilitation  of individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s functional capabilities and for his return to autonomy.  Different set-ups are proposed, ranging from a VR rehabilitation  platform in hospitals, functional and motor rehabilitation VR centres,  to portable low-cost systems in people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s residence.<\/p>\n<p>recent publications on these subjects :<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8220;A study of Perception of volumetric rendering for immersive  scientific visualization&#8221;<br \/>\nNan Wang, Alexis Paljic, Philippe Fuchs.
