Immerstar, a still evolving 25 years old VR research facility
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The two platforms Immersia and Immermove offer an immersive collaborative space called ImmerStar, intended for the scientific and industrial community, for international research projects. Immersia is a 3D virtual reality platform which, thanks to its exceptional dimensions, offers an environment for experimentation, particularly in the context of real-time and multi-modal interaction (vision, sound, haptics, brain-computer interface) between humans and virtual models. Immermove is a technological platform dedicated to motion capture, extended by a virtual reality space. It enables the precise capture of rapid movements (sports for example) or of a group of people, in order to study human behavior such as crowd-movement or sport gestures. This paper presents the history of the evolution of these two joint platforms, an overview of their technical specifications, associated research projects and perspective of evolutions.
