Headline

Arts et Métiers its Laval Institute, launched the "iPerform" Chair in June 2023 on collaborative performance through immersive technologies and virtual worlds. The Chair is supported by the "Presence & Innovation" research team at LAMPA, theArts et Métiers research laboratory.

Main body text

The work of iPERFORM will focus on three main areas:

Incarnation:

  • Adapt immersive applications to the individual characteristics of users;
  • Explore representation methods in a multi-platform environment;
  • Identify their impacts in terms of experience and interactions.

Perception

  • Optimizing graphic quality and virtual realism in a multi-platform context;
  • Develop multisensory digital representations;
  • Represent invisible or poorly understood phenomena and make them understandable.

Interaction:

  • Optimize interaction with autonomous virtual agents;
  • Exploring the potential of collaborative virtual worlds;
  • Characterize their uses and limitations.

An exemplary and original partnership

iPERFORM is a five-year research project that will provide partner companies with exclusive access to the research and development work carried out within the framework of the chair, as well as a privileged relationship with the laboratory's researchers and engineers, enabling them to stay abreast of the latest international developments in the relevant technologies and the development of demonstrators suitable for their use cases.
This type of multi-year, structured partnership also allows companies to benefit from the full power of Arts et Métiers research capabilities. 

PARTNERS

Chanel, Alstom, and France Travail.

Two years at the Bordeaux campus of Arts et Métiers a unique experience

Nausicaa Foy is a sophomore in the Grande Ecole Engineering Programme the Bordeaux–Talence campus. After two years of preparatory classes in Paris, where she is from (her first year at Lycée Lavoisier and her second year at Lycée Condorcet in the PSI Étoile track), Nausicaa hopes to enroll in a general engineering school. She has therefore chosen the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Bordeaux, which she will join in September 2021: Arts et Métiers a strong emphasis on hands-on projects, which allows for greater practical application of what we learn in theory.”

Main body text

Upon her arrival at Arts et Métiers, Nausicaa meets the 150 students with whom she will spend two years of her life, two years of projects within the school, in the workshops, but also two years of community life.

Nausicaa joined the BEST Arts et Métiers association Arts et Métiers secretary general: "BEST offers science and technology students in Europe the opportunity to travel at low cost to attend scientific seminars led by professionals. This experience involved a lot of work but was very rewarding from both a personal and professional point of view."

Nausicaa is also very interested in environmental and sustainable development issues, and has been able to get involved in the GaSole association through activities organized throughout the year.

Like all students in Bordeaux, Nausicaa is very attached to her campus. Firstly, because of its location: "The campus is well located, it's very easy to get to the ocean and even to the mountains with a little motivation," but also because of the cohesion between the students on the Bordeaux campus: "The approach between students is very human, we all listen to each other while transmitting the values of the School."

After two years at the Bordeaux campus, Nausicaa and some of her classmates are preparing to cross the Atlantic to Quebec for a semester at the University of Sherbrooke studying Mechanical Engineering. During this experience abroad, she will also study project management, life cycle analysis, and waste management.

In January 2024, she will return to France to complete her end-of-study internship, which she hopes to do in the cultural sector as an environmental engineer or design office engineer: "There are more and more initiatives linking the environment and culture, such as Recupscène and Ecoprod, which are collectives that promote green and environmentally friendly productions and set up recycling channels for stage sets. I'm very interested in this approach to entertainment."

She has fond memories of her experience at Arts et Métiers Bordeaux: "You discover the joys and difficulties of community life, which gives you a good understanding of how to behave in the professional world."
