L’iV Lab du Passion for Innovation Institute de Dassault Système est fier de vous présenter cette vidéo. Vos retours et commentaires dans ce post ou sur la chaine Youtube sont les bienvenus. Pour ceux qui ont assisté aux journées 2015, il s’agit de la même experience utilisateur que ce que nous avons montré à Reims.
PS1: La démo a été selectionnée pour IEEE VR 2015, vous pourez donc l’y tester
PS2: Nous rechechons un labo qui serait intéressé par effectuer une étude et une publication, pour évaluer scientifiquement ce que nous avons observé empiriquement, cf ci-dessous
PS3: Voici le commentaire en anglais de la vidéo qui explique les tennants et aboutissants
In this video, we share our findings in building real-time 3D experiences with consumer headsets so as to go beyond the FPS gaming usage for which they are designed. The issue is that such experiences tend to isolate the user from his own body, have him lose contact with other people in the room and with the real world.
Analyzing the usage of large cubic immersive rooms (CAVEs) in industries such as Automotive or Aerospace, we propose an experience that brings some elements of reality to the eyes of the user of an Oculus Rift, allowing him to see his own body, perceive the real surrounding world and interact with it, as well as have social interactions with other people in the room.
To achieve these results we use a fixed Kinect for Windows that generate a 3D point cloud of the user’s body and of his surroundings. Although not very dense, the point cloud is surprisingly present to the user when seen from his eyes through the headset.
The three features presented in this video are known to bring the following benefits:
1/ Seeing one’s own body
– Reinforces the presence of virtuality and eliminates the odd feeling of not actually being there
– Enables to perceive virtuality at a proper scale
– Gives visual feedback when interacting with real objects
2/ Perceiving the real world
– Removes the feeling of blindness
– Provides a safer experience: prevents from dangers like hitting something, or falling
– Enables interaction with real objects in the world
3/ Perceiving other people
– Reduces the claustrophobic effect of wearing an occluding headset
– Brings non-verbal communication
– Maintains equity amongst people thanks to a symmetrical relation.
About us:
At the heart of the Passion for Innovation Institute (http://www.3ds.com/passion-for-innova…), the iV Lab explores the usage of emerging UX technologies by building and sharing original prototypes; It connects Dassault Systèmes with scientific and technology players in the VR, AR and other domains where the body is highly coupled with the virtual

Making Immersive Virtual Reality a reality ! Trained both as an engineer and an artist (Supelec, Imperial Collège and Univ. Paris 8), David Nahon creates in 1994 the R&D activities of Z-A Production, a pioneer French 3D animation studio. At the same time, he gets involved in the development and the direction of various interactive artwork from Maurice Benayoun, as well the management of the software development of the SAS Cube, the first PC-based CAVE worldwide, and first french CAVE . In 2003, David joins Virtools as a product manager for VR solutions. Since Virtools acquisition by Dassault Systèmes in 2005, he leads the Immersive Virtuality (iV) domain, acting horizontally on the emergence of new usages and markets where the user’s body is highly coupled with the virtual.
« Et si l’experience au casque valait celle d’un CAVE? »
=> ça fait longtemps que j’ai répondu a cette question ;o)
en tous cas super travail David !
et vive le HMD
Nous avons également observé ce phénomène au cours du projet européen 3D-LIVE (plateforme de réalité mixte télé-immersive). Nos souhaits d’expérimentations étaient au départ orientés vers une réponse à cette question mais nous avons finalement dû nous concentrer sur une expérimentation avec des utilisateurs en HMD.
Des expérimentations « qualitatives » ont montré qu’une partie des utilisateurs préféraient la version HMD à la version CAVE.. Ils avaient un retour de leur corps dans le HMD en tant qu’avatar seulement, mais voyaient leur partenaire reconstruit en 3D.
Cette expérimentation doit être validée scientifiquement, mais je partage votre pensée.
Très beau travail, félicitations.
Perso, je passerais bien cette expérience au crible des différentes dimensions du sentiment de présence.
