PhD Thomas RINNERT - PERCOMIX

Thomas RINNERT

  • PhD title: Perceiving distant collaborative activity with eXtended Reality
  • INUIT Theme 3
  • Thesis dates: 10/2020 – 09/2023
  • Supervision: T. Duval – C. Fleury – (G. Coppin) – B. Thomas – J. Walsh
  • Context/Funding: CNRS International – IRL CROSSING
  • General Goal:
    • To provide new awareness cues to better understand the physical and emotional status of remote collaborators
  • Scientific challenges:
    • To determine which kind of information is needed to understand how our collaborators are feeling
    • To determine how and where collaborative awareness cues must be visualized
  • Keywords: Virtual Reality, Collaborative Virtual Environments, Activity perception
  • Contributions:
    • Determining if visual cues can inform about the stress and fatigue of collaborators in collaborative virtual environments: Proposal, implementation and evaluation of a collaborative system based on the MatB-II microworld, enabling the status of a user working in a team to be visualized, so that his teammate can go and help him in the event of overload (MTI 2023 article)
    • Demonstration in remote collaborative mode between Brest and Adelaide during the visit of CNRS President Antoine Petit to IRL CROSSING on April 14, 2022
    • Proposal, implementation and evaluation of a system for visualizing a collaborator's state, enabling a supervisor to optimize his or her workload and that of the team (MDPI Applied Sciences 2023 article)
    • Proposal, implementation and evaluation of a system for predicting collaborators' state before overloading them
  • Perspective
    • extend the system to real Aumented Reality collaborative situations
