International Collaborations

• Collaboration with NTU (Nanyang Technological University) in Singapore is continuing. A PHD student Quah Chee Kwang was supervised by both A. Gagalowicz from MIRAGES and Seah Hock Soon from NTU, he received his PHD in November 2008 and collaboration is still continuing. This collaboration expanded after the signature of a collaboration framework between the French Ministry of Foreign affairs and Singapore (Merlion contract).

• A new collaboration is starting between MIRAGES and Electronic Arts in Vancouver (Canada). Electronic Arts is interested in our 3D face tracking technique. David Coleman from this company accepted to be one of reviewers of Daria Kalinkina's PHD as well as to be in the defense committee and spent one week in our project in December. The final decision from Electronic Arts should arrive soon.
