ABSTRACT
OutilNum project is a pre-visualization prototype dedicated to film making and live performance. It is based on techniques stemming from virtual reality, from augmented reality and from artificial intelligence applied to the conception of video games. It consists in several business-oriented modules which allow, among others, a real actor to preview a virtual set and to act with autonomous virtual extras there. In addition, thanks to a rig-camera, it allows the director, to preview the final framing and allows the director of photography and the chief cameraman, thanks to a device of augmented reality, to modify in real time, the position of the set and the lighting effects. We will detail the mechanisms we set up in order to make the real actors to interact with the virtual actors in a transparent way thanks to voice command and movements; then we will explain how the extras can interact with their environment and the real actors by deporting the decision-making modules on the elements of the virtual set.

Empowering Creative People: Virtual Reality for Previsualization
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPrevisualization (previs) is an essential phase in the design process of narrative media such as film, animation, and stage plays. Digital previs can involve complex technical tasks, e.g. 3D scene creation, animation, and camera work, which require ...
Immersive previz: VR authoring for film previsualisation
SIGGRAPH '18: ACM SIGGRAPH 2018 StudioCreatives in animated and real movie productions have been exploring new modalities to visually design filmic sequences before realizing them in studios, through techniques like hand-drawn storyboards, physical mockups or more recently virtual 3D ...
Immersive interactive technologies and virtual shopping experiences: Differences in consumer perceptions between augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)
Highlights- This study investigated the functional mechanisms of AR and VR in impacting user perceptions and behaviors in virtual shopping environments.
AbstractBased on the concepts of the Reality-Virtuality (RV) continuum and the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) framework, this study investigated differences between AR and VR in their effects on vividness/interactivity, a sense of presence, ...
