Digiscope - Collaborative Interaction with Complex Data and Computation
-
Partners: FCS Paris-Saclay (coordinator), Université Paris-Sud, CNRS, CEA, Inria, Institut Mines-Telecom, Ecole Centrale Paris, Université Versailles - Saint-Quentin, ENS Cachan, Maison de la Simulation

Overall budget: 22.5 Meuros, including 6.7 Meuros public funding from ANR

Abstract: The goal of the project is to create ten high-end interactive rooms interconnected by high-speed networks and audio-video facilities to support remote collaboration across interactive visualization environments. The equipment will be open to outside users and targets four main application areas: scientific discovery, product lifetime management, decision support for crisis management, and education and training. Digiscope includes the existing WILD room, and funded the WILDER room. ExSitu contributes its expertise in the design and evaluation of advanced interaction techniques and the development of distributed software architectures for interactive systems. At the end of 2016, all ten rooms are operational, and the telepresence network is being deployed.

The Instrumental Paradigm
-
Abstract: Tools or instruments are a natural way to interact with the real world, and can serve as a powerful metaphor to interact with on-line information. An instrument reifies interaction: it turns an interaction into a meaningful object for users, designers and developers. We envision a future where large, monolithic and closed applications are replaced by a rich ecology of instruments and information containers that can interoperate, giving users the power to shape their own environments. Our work on multisurface interaction [2] and Webstrates [5] illustrate this approach.
