• INUIT Themes 1 and 2
• Thesis dates: 11/2018 – 07/2022
• Supervision : R. Querrec – S. Kubicki – S. Laubé
• Context/Funding: 50 % BMO – 50 % ÉNIB
• General Goal:
  • To provide new ways to navigate temporally in VR reconstructions of past or inaccessible places to explore their history and observe human procedures and activities
• Scientific challenges:
  • To propose a generic model to represent spatial and temporal evolutions of technical systems and activites.
  • To propose a tangible interface to navigate through space and timees
• Keywords: Tangible User Interface, Mixed Reality, Spatio-Temporal Navigation, Cultural Mediation
• Contributions:
  • A generic model to represent spatio-temporal evolutions of technical systems and activities
  • A tangible interface to navigate through space and time on multiple scales in virtual environments
• Perspectives:
  • Application to other domains and problems.
  • Evaluation inside a cultural mediation institution (e.g. museum)
