Engineer Position Avatars For Virtual Reality H/F
Il y a 3 mois
Type de contrat :
CDD
Niveau de diplôme exigé :
Bac +5 ou équivalent
Autre diplôme apprécié :
PhD
Fonction :
Ingénieur scientifique contractuel
A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle
The Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique Centre is one of Inria's eight centres and has more than thirty research teams.
The Inria Center is a major and recognized player in the field of digital sciences.IT is at the heart of a rich R&D and innovation ecosystem :
highly innovative PMEs, large industrial groups, competitiveness clusters, research and higher education players, laboratories of excellence, technological research institute, etc.
Contexte et atouts du posteThis engineer position is open in the context of the Inria Research challenge Avatar ), which runs from 2018 to 2022.
The goal of the project is to design avatars (i.e., the user's representation in virtual environments) that are better embodied, more interactive and more social, through improving all the pipeline related to avatars, from acquisition and simulation, to designing novel interaction paradigms and multi-sensory feedback.
The Avatar project involves 6 Inria teams (GraphDeco, Hybrid, Loki, MimeTIC, Morpheo, Potioc), as well as our external academic partner Prof.
Mel Slater (Uni.Barcelona) and 2 industrial partners (InterDigital and Faurecia), with use cases targeting primarily demonstrators for the field of immersive cinema (developed in collaboration with our industrial partner InterDigial - VFX/VR team, formerly Technicolor).
Due to the massive dissemination of consumer-grade Head-Mounted Displays and the huge investments from major industrial players, avatars are becoming a major requirement in immersive virtual reality applications, such as immersive media and movies, video games, virtual communities and social networks, sports and industrial training simulations, or medical cybertherapies.
In all these applications, ensuring that users embody in an avatar is crucial for making people live a truly immersive and effective experience.
For these reasons, an ideal VR experience should involve acquiring automatically, easily and quickly a high quality representation (photo-realistic or stylised) of the user to display in the virtual environment, automatically simulating the movements of this avatar based on the user's movements, e.g., using intuitive and non-invasive input devices, while enabling users to sense the properties of the virtual environment (e.g., physical, social) through their avatar.
However, current avatars do not elicit today such immersive and effective experiences.The different Inria teams involved in the Avatar challenge have therefore been working together to break through the current technological limitations in the acquisition, simulation and control of avatars, as well as towards providing novel interaction paradigms enabling users to feel the virtual world through their avatar.
Mission confiéeSeveral pieces of software have been developed by the different Inria teams involved in the challenge over the 2 first years of the project, e.g., to handle avatar calibration, retarget motions on characters with different shapes, customize avatars, or animate and interact with the avatar.
The goal is therefore to create a common platform that would BE used by the Inria teams working on the topic of avatars, integrating first the minimum tools required to easily set up experiments and demonstrators involving avatars, as well as the relevant other tools developed in the different teams.
The candidate will therefore work closely with the PhD students working on the Avatar challenge, in order to develop this platform, as well as to ensure that IT can BE deployed and used by the students and research fellows involved on the project.
In the second part of the assignment, a major task will also BE to develop demonstrators for the project, in relation to the topic of avatars for immersive cinema.
The person recruited will BE in contact with Ludovic Hoyet (MimeTIC team) and Ferran Argelaguet (Hybrid team) for the technical aspects of developing the avatar framework, as well as with Laurent Guillot (MimeTIC team) for the Engineering monitoring.
As the position involves several teams through France, short-term visits to the different teams will also BE organised to closely work with all the project members.
The engineer will first BE tasked with the development of a platform for using and conducting research on avatars (Unity, C#), which involves
- Defining the specifications in collaboration with the different teams
- While ensuring the ease of integration of new tools by the students and research fellow working on the project
- While ensuring the possibility of integrating external tools (not Unity or C# based) in the future, such as deep learning based tools developed by some of the teams
- Integrating the different motion capture systems used to animate avatars
- Developing standard calibrations for the motion capture systems (calibrating the avatar to the user)
- Integrating motion capture approaches from low to high levels of quality (e.g., mocap, IK based)
- Integrating various techniques to interact with and through the avatar
In a second stage (year 2), the engineer will BE responsible for developing demonstrators for the project, in relation to the topic of avatars for immersive cinema.
- Experience in Unity (C#) would BE beneficial
- Ability of understanding the scientific and technical challenges related to the development and use of avatars in VR
- Good software development skills, including knowledge of software development processes (e.g., source code management, continuous integration and continuous delivery, tests, agile method)
- Partial reimbursement of public transport costs
Rémunération mensuelle brute à partir de 2562 Euros selon diplôme et expérience
