Towards a Complete Representation by Means of Computer — The Instrumental Communication Interface Concept —

  • Chapter
Cyberworlds

Summary

This paper deals with a project in progress called I.C.I. — Instrumental Communication Interface. This project is supported by the IMAG Institute, which is the Grenoble Computer Science Institute, and by the French Ministère de la Culture. Two of its major aims are artistic creation and man-machine Communication. We will discuss about the fundamental motivation of this new way of communicating and creating with computers, that is the concept of Complete Representation. We will present our technological developments of ICI and our scientific and artistic results: the physical modelling of objects, the force feedback gestural transducers, the real time simulation allowing the user to act on a physically simulated object and to perceive it by its synthetic visual, acoustic and tactilo-propriokinesthetic behaviours.

Note: A video tape containing all the concepts and the experiments described in the paper is available at the ACROE laboratory.
