PIRVI : a working framework for projects in CHI, Virtual Reality and Images
The PIRVI(see http://www.lifl.fr/pirvi ) framework was initiated in 2008 as a way to encourage collaborations between research teams and industry in the field of Vision and Virtual Reality. Five teams from The LIFL and the LAGIS are contributing to the PIRVI : ALCOVE, FOX-MIIRE, SMAC, NOCE and VISION&IMAGES. Within the PIRVI the ALCOVE team provides its scientific expertise in the field of computer graphics, vision and computer-human interfaces as well as by demonstrating and building collaboration based on its dedicated equipments: virtual reality room and multi-touch tactile displays. In 2009 the PIRVI organized several demonstration days in which ALCOVE took a big role. During these days ALCOVE has presented its research works to many potential industrial partners and political figures. Some significant dates:
-
February 19th: demonstration day for a selected panel of industrial partners.
-
March 12th: demonstration for the visit of the Secretary of State for Digital Economy (Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet).
-
November 6th: demonstration day for the AFM (Association Familliale Mulliez) which is a very well-known industry group in France (Auchan, Decathlon, Saint-Maclou...).
-
Septembre 15: demonstration day for the Pôle Image (companies working in the field of visual entertainment, gaming, design and graphics).
