2 PhD and 1 Postdoc, in the field of Virtual Reality and 3D Interaction
INRIA Rennes, France :
1 PhD position on “3D Interaction with Virtual Worlds based on Brain-Computer Interfaces”
1 Postdoc position on « Wallking in virtual environments with haptic and visual cues»
1 PhD position on « Wallking in virtual environments with haptic and visual cues»

1 PhD and 1 Post-doctoral position opening on: “Walking in Virtual Environments with Haptic and Visual cues”
1 post-doc and 1 PhD position are available at the National Institute of Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) in Rennes, France. The project is in the area of virtual reality (VR) and haptic feedback (force/tactile feedback). It concerns the use of visual and haptic feedback for the simulation of walking in virtual worlds. The project is funded by the European Commission for 3 years. The aim is to investigate how multisensory cues (visual and haptic) can collaborate to improve the human walking in Virtual Environments. There are different sub-projects on which the prospective post-doc and PhD candidates may work on, according to their interests and qualifications:
- Human perception of walking in virtual reality;
- Design of novel multisensory rendering (haptic rendering, visual rendering, etc) for the simulation of ground properties;
- Design of novel interactive techniques for improved walking in virtual worlds.
The candidates should have experience and motivation in either: virtual reality, 3D user interface, haptic feedback, multi-sensory studies, applied perception, experimental psychology, human factors, or other relevant topics.
Postdoc and PhD positions are available : October 2008.
Location: BUNRAKU research team, INRIA, Rennes, France.
Interested candidates should send CV, selected publications and the names and addresses of three references

1 PhD position opening on: “3D Interaction with Virtual Worlds based on Brain-Computer Interfaces”
1 PhD position is available at the National Institute of Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) in Rennes, France. The project is in the area of virtual reality (VR) and Brain-Computer Interfaces.
The PhD program aims at designing and testing novel 3D interaction techniques with virtual worlds based on Brain-Computer Interfaces. Brain-computer Interfaces (BCI) enable a user to send commands to a computer using only variations of his brain activity. Traditionally, BCI aim at providing communication to those who have lost their voluntary muscle control. However, they could also be used for other applications, such as for the purpose of interacting with videogames and 3D virtual worlds. Main objectives of the PhD is thus to investigate and design novel interaction techniques specifically adapted to the use of a brain-computer interface to interact with the content of a virtual environment in 3D. These BCI-based techniques will aim at improving basic operations required in virtual world such as navigation, or selection and manipulation of a virtual object “by thought”. A series of experiments with participants will be planned to evaluate the various techniques.
The candidates should have experience and/or strong motivation in either: virtual reality, 3D user interface, brain-computer interaction, human factors, or other relevant topics.
PhD position is available: October 2008.
