Study of 3D sound for an audio-visual interaction in enriched virtual environment
2011
Most of the applications integrating 3D sound in virtual environment are limited to acoustic simulation. The objective of this thesis is to study the added value of 3D sound in the interaction with virtual environment. We developed an audio stimulation technique called "Artificial Spatial Audio Sensation: (ASAS)" based on the creation of audio effects. This technique conveys the sensations of spatialized sound that allows accurate sound source localization in azimuth and in elevation. In order to improve the localization time we also developed a model that integrates Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) with the ASAS technique. For the simulation of the depth of spatial sound sources, we d…
Représentation hybride du modèle numérique pour la gestion d'un patrimoine bâti dit ancien
2013
International audience; Ce projet de recherche explore et repousse les limites inhérentes à la représentation numérique du bâti ancien dans la préparation et le suivi de travaux de rénovation. A Cluny, l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers est logée en partie dans les bâtiments de l'ancienne abbaye clunisienne. La représentation numérique d'un bâtiment permet d'archiver la connaissance tout au long de son cycle de vie. L'édifice, datant du XVIIIème siècle, est classé aux monuments historiques. En matière de rénovation les opérations sont strictement encadrées. L'étude de cas portera sur l'isolation intérieure d'un bureau au niveau de la baie ancienne. Elle consiste en l'ajout d'u…
Engagement éco-citoyen et participation en ligne : entre agir communicationnel et agir stratégique
2012
International audience; Dans le cadre d’une recherche-action retenue au sein du programme MOVIDA (développé par le Ministère de l’Environnement, du Développement Durable, du Transport et de la Logistique), nous envisageons sur un plan fonctionnel les leviers et les freins communicationnels à une consommation éco-responsable à l’échelle d’un quartier de la ville de Dijon, en France. Mais la participation des habitants à ces dispositifs est loin d’être acquise. La théorie de la communication engageante propose une méthodologie qui permettrait de motiver et mobiliser ces habitants efficacement autour de l’éco-citoyenneté. Nous proposons dans cet article de revenir sur la problématique de la pa…
Contribution of virtual reality to functional rehabilitation
2010
Virtual reality has grown immensely. Practical applications for the use of this technology encompass many fields in both engineering science and human science. In the field of medicine, one of the newest fields to benefit from the advances in VR technology, virtual reality has become a major new therapeutic tool not only in medicine and surgery but also for the treatment of psychological disorders and rehabilitation for impaired person. Our research presented in this thesis aims at developing utilities to aid in functional rehabilitation using virtual reality technology. The main research question of our work concerns the effect of virtual metaphors in learning and training human gestures f…
Retour sensoriel du toucher dans les environnements virtuels
2018
This thesis tackles the subject of the feedbacks of interactions in virtual environments. The theoretical part addresses the different perception schemes and the corresponding haptic modalities. We especially focused on the relevance of each modality for each use-case, on the compatibility with the visual systems which take an important place in virtual reality, and on the problematics of each situation. These studies led us to evaluate passive haptics and sensory substitution for interactions in CAVEs. The results show the importance of choosing the right modality relative to the scenario design. We also evaluated how mismatched the visual and haptic workfield can be, and how the performan…
Le marketing tribal électronique: vers une rationalisation sociale généralisée de la socialisation en ligne ?
2010
International audience; L’instrumentalisation marchande du phénomène de socialisation électronique, sans nous questionner plus avant ici sur son efficacité économique réelle, réactualise la question de la rationalisation du lien social à l’heure de la massification d’Internet. Cette rationalisation est considérée par beaucoup de penseurs critiques, à la suite des travaux d’Habermas sur l’Espace Public, comme un affaiblissement, voire une disparition d’un être-ensemble détaché pour partie de la raison calculatoire, de la logique de l’intérêt. Ainsi, les stratégies marketing ciblant la population internaute, que l’on pourrait rassembler en nous inspirant de Bernard Cova et de Michel Maffesoli…
Virtù e professioni giuridiche: i limiti della deontologia
2022
After analyzing some Italian recent trends on the ethics of legal professions, and comparing this debate with the discussion abroad, it is introduced the difference between deontology and ethics of legal professions, and pros and cons of the approach of virtue ethics are pondered. In the final part, the legal virtues are linked to the virtue of law, the rule of law, in order to show that the success of law as a practice depends also on virtues of legal practitioners.
RESEARCH-BASED REFLECTIONS ABOUT CHARACTER EDUCATION: MYTHS, CHALLENGES AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
2018
At present, youngsters’ character and virtue education issues are widely discussed in Latvia and in English-speaking academic environment. Given the existing criticism of these concepts, the research question was: what are the main misunderstandings about the nature of character and virtue education? After clarifying the neo-Aristotelian understanding of these concepts, recent research in the field of character education and virtues is presented for deconstructing some of the myths related to it, due to conceptual, historical, moral and political misunderstandings (Kristjánsson, 2013). Real problems (historical, methodological and practical) faced by character education programs in mainstre…
‘E-TAP’ CURRICULUM FOR VIRTUE EDUCATION: A FIT ANALYSIS TO THE ‘SKOLA-2030’ CURRICULUM
2021
The virtue education curriculum ‘e-TAP’ is one of the recent efforts for improving character and virtue education at school in Latvia from preschool till grade nine. The objective of this research was to provide evidence regarding whether this curriculum is appropriate (‘fits’) to the Latvian context, in particular in reference to the Skola-2030 curriculum. Based on fit and feasibility theory, this work addressed the research question: “How does the treatment of virtues of the e-TAP curriculum fit to the treatment of virtues of the new Skola-2030 curriculum?”. The analysis used statistical descriptive frequency analysis of the virtues of each programme and comparative analysis between the t…
LEGITIMATION OF VIRTUE EDUCATION IN TEACHER TRAINING DISCOURSE DURING SOVIET LATVIA
2019
Soviet virtue education had a relevant place in the discourse of the founders of communism and in the Communist Party’s documents. Virtue education played a central role in the construction of the future Soviet society and the raising of the New Soviet Man, a conscious communist, productive worker and soldier. This paper addresses two research questions: how was character and virtue education conceptualized, legitimized and implemented in Soviet Latvia? What elements of the Soviet approach to character education facilitated the consolidation of totalitarianism in Latvia?This research is based on written academic sources published in Soviet Latvia about virtue education and intended to schoo…
