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.
MimeTIC is a multidisciplinary team structured through:
IRISA
M2S
Inria

Kimea Cloud project with start-up Moovency and Quortex granted by Region Bretagne
The Region Bretagne with “Image & Réseaux” national clusters have granted the project “Kimea Cloud”. This project leaded by Moovency (moovency.com/) aims at proposing a new system to asses painful movement at work using ligth devices, such as a simple camera. Quortex (www.quortex.io/) company will provide its expertise in delivering…
Start-up “Moovency” created November 5th.
Franck Multon and Pierre Plantard are co-founder of “Moovency” start-up company, based on the PhD results of Pierre Plantard (defended July 2016) in collaboration with Faurecia company (1st car industry sub-contractor). Moovency aims at developping systems to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders at work, using a depth sensor technology…
