Support users’ awareness with virtual reality and augmented reality in the factory of future

Authoring and synchronization of the Digital Twin in virtual and augmented reality for the factory of the future

Perception and representation of city lighting and night-time atmospheres in Augmented Reality

  • Contact: Étienne Peillard (etienne.peillard@imt-atlantique.fr) and Myriam Servières (myriam.servieres@ec-nantes.fr)
  • Details: The precise subject will be jointly defined with the PhD candidate.
  • Keywords: Augmented Reality, lighting, night-time atmospheres
  • Funding: CIFRE with Observatoire de la Nuit
  • Collaboration: Observatoire de la Nuit and Centrale Nantes
  • Location: Nantes and/or Brest, France
  • Status: Looking for candidate, starting late 2024
  • Note: This topic is in partnership with an urban planning consultancy specializing in lighting environments. The candidate will be employed there (under a CIFRE contract), and the PhD topic will be jointly written with the company. The candidate will therefore need to demonstrate an interest and/or skills in both the technical field of mixed reality, and in urban planning and architecture aspects.
