As brain computer interface (BCI) is an emerging technology, this project attempts to understand the functionality of this technology from the user’s perspective. To achieve this goal, a BCI-based application is developed, and users’ ideas are collected from pre- and post-experience surveys. The previous study dealt with functionality of BCI in technical level and this […]

ProStudioMasters is poised to become a key player in the emerging market of high quality, high bandwidth, uncompressed audio distributed over the internet. The interns will provide support by compiling information to be included in the container file along with the audio: metadata such as correct attributions (composers, performers), historical circumstances of the recording, analytic […]

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enable exciting experiences such as virtual tourism or participation in a live concert from home. These applications are expected to benefit the society as well as being a source of significant revenues. However, such applications are very bit rate- and computation-intensive. The recent MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) format, […]

While much of how we interact with the world is grounded in the body, embodied forms of knowledge have received little attention in research and practice. The inherent difficulty in communicating embodied experiences, and the paucity of tools to do so, poses a significant barrier to sharing it—a problem which is only exacerbated by our […]

Painting in Virtual Reality (VR) offers unprecedented possibilities for artists to create and visualize 3D scenes. On the one hand, modern VR painting applications reproduce the traditional painting metaphors of a brush that traces paint strokes. On the other hand, these strokes can be traced in 3D space rather than on a flat canvas, a […]

Ce séjour de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une cotutelle de thèse entre l’Université de Montréal et l’Université Paris Nanterre. Le projet, mené au sein de l’Observatoire des écritures contemporaines françaises et francophones (OEC), permettra d’étudier un pan récent de la littérature contemporaine, les « littératures de terrain », forme assez peu pratiquée au Canada […]
