Dear all,

In the context of the doctoral program of the PePR Ensemble (http://pepr-ensemble.fr/prog_doctoral.html), we are looking for excellent candidates to join us. Please forward this information to any potential interested students.

The interested candidates must hold a master degree (or equivalent) either in Virtual/Augmented reality, human-computer interaction or computer graphics.

Title: Enhancing Workspace and User Awareness in Asymmetric XR Collaboration

Keywords: Collaboration, radiance fields, interaction techniques, avatar, awareness

Abstract: Due to the difficulty to ensure free exploration for remote collaborators, workspace awareness still remains an open problem, and it is typically supported either by virtual replicas/reconstructions or video feeds. However, with the appearance of radiance field rendering methods such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) or more efficient point-based solutions, real-time and high-fidelity reconstruction of physical workspaces are becoming possible. This PhD will leverage fast radiance-field methods, and avatar representations to enable efficient collaboration in XR asymmetric configurations, ensuring workspace and user awareness.
