Inria International Labs

Massive Data

A former member of InSitu, Emmanuel Pietriga, has spent two years at the Inria Chile/CIRIC lab as head of the Massive Data team. The team focuses on the design, development and empirical evaluation of novel interactive visualization techniques that help users understand and manipulate massive amounts of data on different types of platforms: mobile devices, workstations, control rooms (ALMA radio-telescope), ultra-high-resolution wall-sized displays such as ANDES, the lab's wall-sized display similar to InSitu's WILD and WILDER rooms. During his stay, he continued to collaborate with InSitu members.

Inria Associate Teams

MIDWAY

• Title: Musical Interaction Design Workbench And technologY

• International Partner:

  • McGill University & CIRMMT, Montréal (CA), Marcelo Wanderley

• Duration: 2014 -

• See also: http://insitu.lri.fr/MIDWAY

• The MIDWAY associated team involves two partners: the InSitu group, and the Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (IDMIL) from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) – McGill University. Our goal is to design and implement MIDWAY, a musical interaction design workbench, to facilitate the exploration and design of new interactive technologies for both musical creation and performance. Each laboratory has extensive experience developing new interactive technologies and studying interactive phenomena from complementary points of view. The two groups share multiple, complementary research interests that the MIDWAY joint team will help them to explore together: In|Situ|’s experience working with composers to develop novel tools, toolkits and interaction models will complement IDMIL/CIRMMT’s knowledge and experience designing new musical instruments and their studies of the musical creative process. Both partners have organized workshops to initiate and to plan the research program for the upcoming months (joint developments, publication and visits/exchanges).
