This doctoral position will take place at Inria Grenoble in the IMAGINE team. The goal of IMAGINE is to develop a new generation of models, algorithms and interactive environments for easily creating and conveying animated 3D scenes. Our insight is to revisit models for shapes, motion, stories and virtual cinematography from a user-centred perspective, i.e. to give models an intuitive, predicta...

We are reporting in vitro observations of sickle-unsickle transformation of freely suspended single cells (HbSS) induced by oxygenation-deoxygenation. The events were recorded by cinematography (phase optics, 16 mm cinematography). In addition, cells were fixed after progressive increments of oxygenation for subsequent scanning-beam electron microscopy. These studies seem to warrant the followi...

This paper describes a system to improve the visual experience of spectators in massively multiplayer online games. The proposed architecture uses distributed agents to detect actions and control the camera using cinematographic techniques for computer graphics.

PHOTOGRAPHY of fluorescence in retinal vessels as described by Novotny and Alvis affords a means of studying the dynamic characteristics of the retinal circulation.' Studies in our laboratory and by other investigators 2 using this method or a modification have demonstrated retinal vascular phenomena that would be difficult to recognize by ophthalmoscopic visualization alone. The single film ph...

In this paper we introduce the idea of enhancing the audio presentation of a multimedia museum guide by using the PDA screen to travel throughout a fresco and identify the various details in it. During the presentation, a sequence of pictures is synchronized with the audio commentary and the transitions among the pictures are planned according to cinematic techniques. The theoretical background...
