Mercredi 22 mai - Cours
9:30 - 17:30 Animation par ordinateur et realite virtuelle
Ce cours, donne en francais uniquement, est destine aux professionnels de
l'image tels que les graphistes, animateurs, infographistes et ingenieurs
en visualisation scientifique ou a toute personne impliquee dans la reali-
sation ou l'utilisation de l'animation par ordinateur. Le cours est aussi
consacre en grande partie a la realite virtuelle, nouvelle approche permettant
a l'animateur, grace a des techniques d'interaction et d'animation en temps
reel, d'evoluer et d'interagir dans le monde 3D qu'il a construit. En parti-
culier, le cours montrera le potentiel en animation de nouveaux equipements
du type "dataglove" (gant permettant a l'ordinateur de connaitre a tout
instant la position des doigts de l'animateur), la "spaceball" (boule
permettant de controler la position des objets animes et de leur faire subir
des forces). Les participants pourront voir fonctionner de tels equipements
au laboratoire MIRALab. En particulier, ils assisteront a des demonstrations
du "dataglove", d'un sculpteur et d'un manipulateur dynamique de camera
virtuelle bases sur l'utilisation de la "spaceball".
Les participants a ce cours pourront aussi suivre :
- les concepts de base en animation (animation par dessins-cles, controle
du temps, splines, animation de personnages, animation comportementale,...)
- l'interaction graphique tridimensionnelle et la realite virtuelle
- des etudes de cas de films par ordinateur tres connus au niveau
international
Pour introduire le sujet, Philippe Queau, responsable du programme d'IMAGINA,
donnera un expose intitule :
"Vertu et virtuosite du virtuel"
Plusieurs conferenciers animeront le cours et donneront des demonstrations :
- Francis BALAGUER, Laboratoire d'infographie, EPFL
- John LINGG, MIRALab, CUI, Universite de Geneve
- Nadia MAGNENAT THALMANN, Professeur, MIRALab, CUI, Universite de Geneve
- Laurent MOCCOZET, MIRALab, CUI, Universite de Geneve
- Angelo MANGILI, Laboratoire d'infographie, EPFL
- Arghyro PAOURI, MIRALab, CUI, Universite de Geneve
- Olivier RENAULT, Laboratoire d'infographie, EPFL
