Computer Graphics, mixed reality, innovation for digital TV

Main developer for the flagship authoring software (Patchwork3D), the desktop viewer (P3D Explorer) and the VR viewer (P3D Virtual Sight). Major contributions to all workstation-based solutions and technical foundations over which all of Lumiscaphe software is built.Main realisations, mentored developments and activities :- Virtual and Augmented Reality : Scale 1 :1 stereoscopic rending in CAVE systems, HMDs, zSpace. Cluster rendering. Game-pad interactions, VRPN, distant setups synchronisation. Projection warping correction, projector simulator. 2 and 4 wall immersive structures conception. Omnidirectional stereo video export. Projection mapping, webcam-based AR.- Rendering : OpenGL and ray-tracing engines. Dynamic multilayer material (on the fly shading code generation), existing material models modernisation. Linear physically based rendering with end-to-end colour management. Real-time 2D post-processing of 3D rendering. Clipping planes. Transparency. Anti-aliasing. Compositing. New multi-platform & multi-API engine in C++, and in JavaScript/WebGL. Fryrender (now Arion), Vray, Iray interoperability.- Lighting : Light-maps baking (local or distributed). Real-time sun and spotlight. Dynamically combinable and modulable lights. Global illumination.- Environments : Parallax mapping, dynamic local reflections, isotropic/anisotropic roughness, HDR Light Studio integration.- Geometry : Topology cleaning. Mesh unfolding, parametrisation, simplification, fusion. CAD imports.- Interaction : Configuration, animation (rigid-body geometric animation with constraints, cameras, animated textures).- Social : Mentoring, training, animation of the rendering team. interactions with CG artists, partners and clients in Europe, USA, Asia. External training & support.- Misc : Production environment improvements, build (Jenkins), multi-threading, UI/UX. Exhibition setup and animation.
