PROGRAM
From 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.: Conferences and Round Table Discussion
Sensors, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality: technologies driving innovation
Simon Richir, Directorof the Laval Institute Arts et Métiers , co-founder and Scientific Directorof Laval Virtual
At the heart of research conducted at Arts et Métiers part of the Industry of the Future initiative, hybrid engineering allows users to be virtually immersed in a set of digital data captured in real time and analyzed using artificial intelligence in order to boost creativity and facilitate decision-making.
Virtual Reality and Connected Objects
Samory Houzangbe, CIFREdoctoral studentatEon Reality–Angers Laboratory of Mechanics, Processes, and Innovation, Laval InstituteArts et Métiers
With the advent of mobile virtual reality and its development for the general public, it is now necessary to identify the limitations of this medium and find solutions that will enable it to truly provide users with engaging experiences. As smartphones are at the heart of the connected environment, it is interesting to exploit their connectivity potential with a range of tools. Samory Houzangbe's research focuses on the integration of body sensor networks (habitronics), in other words, a network of wearable body sensors, as an interaction system for virtual reality experiences.
Augmented Reality for the Industry of the Future
Benjamin Poussard, research engineer atAMVALOR
The term augmented reality has become widely used in recent years, but behind this term lie technological advances that have opened up new uses that were previously unimaginable and applicable to all fields. The aim of this presentation is to outline the main technological principles and uses of augmented reality, to take stock of its applications in industry, and to understand the next hurdles in order to anticipate the future of this technology.
From 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.: demonstrations will be offered to discover new uses of virtual and augmented reality for the industry of the future!
