Ongoing projects
Play & Cure
Medical serious game Play & Cure seeks to build a technological demonstration platform for the design and use of “Serious Games” for medicine students. This platform will integrate an “author” component (teachers, doctors, among others) and “users” part (students). The pedagogical resources can also interest biology students, high school students and the public in general. … Continue reading
XLCLOUD
Power Computation in the Cloud XLcloud aims to define and demonstrate the principles of HPC as a Service (High Performance Computing) for all those applications that involve highly intensive calculations. XLcloud is designed as a collaborative tool that enables users to work together on highly sophisticated software in the Cloud, thus sidestepping the need for … Continue reading
OPC
Open Publishing Cloud OPC seeks to facilitate the “digital revolution” of print publishers wishing to distribute their content on tablets and new connected devices. The project involves deploying a chain of production and distribution of digital rich media content scanning four types of collections – the children’s book, the art book, the book practical (cooking, … Continue reading
Media GPU
Massive multimedia GPU-Based Processing Through the evolution of computing hardware (especially GPUs – graphical processing units), processing heavy multimedia content has never been so fast and so cheap. The complexity of those operations is still increasing while computing devices are getting smaller, and require less energy. The market tends to offer everyday consumers the real‐time … Continue reading
ICEBREAK
Interactive Cinema Experience trough advanced storyboarding and mobile devices to BREAK the fun frontier Since 2009, movie-goers worldwide enjoy a new movie experience thanks to 3D. Many theaters are now equipped with 3D and have seen an increase of visitors, but it is noteworthy that 3D (and 4D, i.e. with additional special effects) was already … Continue reading
FARE
Formalizing Augmented Reality Experiences FARE will research how to support rich presentation, interaction and linking between the physical and digital worlds and specifically will develop a formalism to efficiently represent this support. FARE will build on the ongoing work of ARTEMIS/GRIN team on defining formalism for mixed/augmented reality, an activity initiated during the TOTEM project … Continue reading
Culture 3D Clouds
Culture 3D Clouds Information and communication technologies in the world offer new possibilities for cultural exchange, creation, education and shared knowledge to greatly expand the access to culture and heritage. Culture 3D Cloud is part of a process that aims to create a technical rupture approach in the field of digitization of heritage artifacts to … Continue reading
GNC
Communication Network Game Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) are capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously: World of Warcraft, Lineage, Lord of the Rings, Roma Victor (RedBedlam, UK), Entropia Universe (Mindark, SE), OGame (Gameforge, DE), Age of Conan (Funcom, NO). MMOGs allow a large number of online players to interact and communicate in … Continue reading
OxHelease
Impact of helium-oxygen inhalation on ventilation, blood oxygenation, and aerosol deposition in chronic obstructive respiratory diseases: asthma and emphysema This project deals with the use of helium/oxygen mixtures in therapies of chronic obstructive diseases such as asthma and COPD (in particular, emphysema). The global objective is to investigate the use of helium-oxygen mixtures in these … Continue reading
AirPROM
Airway Disease Predicting Outcomes through Patient-Specific Computational Modeling Data from Europe’s biggest airway disease cohort will be used in AirPROM to help generate computer and physical models of the airway, to help professionals predict how people with these lung diseases might respond to different treatments. Current treatment plans adopt a ‘one size fits all’ approach, … Continue reading
