Welcome to the MimeTIC Research Team Website

The MimeTIC research team focuses on designing methods for simulating virtual humans that behave in realistic manners and act with realistic motions. “Realistic” means that a real human would have behave and moved the same way in the same situation. It involves understanding how real people control their motion and behave in order to design models capable of generating realistic virtual humans. The main research axes of MimeTIC target Motion analysis, Autonomous virtual humans, and Physical activity in virtual reality.
L’équipe MimeTIC était présente au 48ᵉ congrès de la Société de Biomécanique à Grenoble.

Oral presentation : Effect of mass addition on upper limb joint torques during meat cutting tasks: a parametric study (A. Tomezzoli, G. Dumont, and C. Pontonnier). Poster : Backpack carriage effect on joint torques computed from a range of models : a preliminary study (A. Schuster; A. Tomezzoli, A. Schuster,…
