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

Motion capture and analysis of elite riders in Cadre Noir Saumur
The CavaleTIC project, funded by IFCE, aims at developping new monitoring technology to assist trainers in elite horse riders. In collaboration with UBS (Universite Bretagne Sud), the first step of the project consists in designing the specifications of such a technologica support. To this end, we carried-out in September experiments…
ANR Labcom project accepted!
The french National Research Agency (ANR) has accepted our project of a joint research laboratory with the French SolidAnim SME. This 3-year research project Cineviz aims at jointly developing tools for movie previsualization, mixing virtual camera systems (like Mr Melies) and computational aspects such as viewpoint computation, camera planning, and automated…
