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…

Siggraph 2016
We will be presenting our most recent work on plausible crowd animations in Siggraph this year. The talk in on Tuesday 26th of July at 9am in the session Perception of Shapes and People.
Experience having six fingers
Some of our members collaborated with members of the Hybrid team to explore how participants accepted controlling a six-digit virtual hand in an immersive setup. The scientific paper is on open access here, and the work was covered by the national press: BFMTV, Industrie &Technologies, Europe1…
Siggraph 2015
Congratulations to Christophe Lino and Marc Christie for their paper entitled “Intuitive and Efficient Camera Control with the Toric Space”, recently accepted to Siggraph 2015. More information on their work is available here.

HDR: Julien Pettré
Julien Pettré will be defending is HDR on June 25th. More details will be coming soon. Location: Inria-Rennes, Campus de Beaulieu, Métivier room Time: 3pm Abstract: Crowd simulation was born from the need to understand, predict or imitate the behavior of real crowds. Applications are numerous, ranging from the architectural…
