3D Sketching in Virtual Reality. Project proposed by the IMAGINE team, about using the user’s 3D strokes from VR controllers (HTC Vive) in order to compute and render 3D shapes.

It implies mesh generation techniques based on a least-squares approximation of positions and controller orientations, as well as considerations about the initial intent of the user depicted by his gestures. The algorithm was designed with the help of my internship supervisors, implemented in C++ and then tested and debugged thanks to the IGL geometry processing library, as well as Eigen for matrices manipulation and operations. Source code can be consulted and downloaded from this GitHub repository.

3D buildings generation and rendering from GeoJSON Polygon descriptions, for the project UrbiViz. This feature was included inside the demonstrator showed on the previous video, to display the city of Lomme (next to Lille).

Technologies : C++11, OpenGL4, GeoJSON, Triangle library

A collision detection feature added in the VAirDraw 3D engine used by the PIRVI team. It is based on state-of-the-art raycasting with acceleration structures (octree).

It was used for projects using pointing interactions to select or move objects in the scene, or for the projection of 3D lines on other objects in order to make annotations on it for example.

You can find more information about this feature on its corresponding documentation.

Technologies : C++11

Basic data visualization module, taking a list of geolocalized elements (for example, air quality data) and displaying corresponding visualization elements as output (for example, spheres with size associated to air quality level). Each visualization element’s geometry is directly computed on the GPU for performance.

Part of a team of two developers, assisting the artist Pauline De Chalendar on her project combining art and technology. She uses PIRVI’s 3D drawing tool VAirDraw for this purpose. Our tool allows her to draw basic “ribbon-like” lines and shapes thanks to the algorithm implemented during my internship at the INRIA Grenoble-Alpes (see Experience section) research institute.

I have then embedded the drawing tool inside PIRVI’s 3D engine. We’ve also added some other features like replaying the whole drawing process programmatically, or inserting “camouflage” shapes to hide some 3D objects in specific contexts (observer’s position and gaze direction). Other tools are needed for the editing process, like the possibility of splitting a drawing session into different file outputs. It allows Pauline to define different phases when animating the drawing.

You can read the shapes drawing feature documentation here.

Development of a system responsible of prototyping frame animations on wearable LED devices. The ultimate goal is to design animations communicating emotions or feelings, like a shockwave for example, by a meaningful GIF-like animation on a LED matrix. We developped a web application based on React.js in order to design frames. The animation is then transferred via USB to an Arduino UNO chip, connected to the LED device.

A Python program aiming at detecting and reading characters from plane analog cockpit screens. This would further be used for semantic compression of video records from these screens in order to operate real-time transfer to the ground. Our work was to locate letters or symbols, and output a list of boxes precisely delimiting each symbol. This would be later used by a PhD student’s neuronal network responsible of recognizing each character. More details here.

First year engineering school project involving 8 fellow students from my promotion. Our idea was to develop a platform dedicated to student parties, enhancing the experience of each participant.

For this purpose, we designed an online platform, accessible from an Android application by participants. The application tracks the user’s dancing movements from the accelerometer of his cell phone, and computes a dance quality metric thanks to signal processing algorithms based on the detection of a regular tempo.

Another parts consisted in proposing a user interface to respond to polls of the party’s DJ, about the next music to be played for example. Participants could also send pictures they had taken during the party to the platform.

At the end, each user was offered a complete recap, with a graph of the evolution of his dance quality throughout the party and all the pictures posted by participants.

I was responsible of the development of the Android client application. Code is available on this Github repository.

Technologies : Android 7

A Windows application, letting the user set up all the data of a soccer match. During the match, you can record efficiently all the key facts. Then, the software generates a full recap of the match into an Excel file automatically. See source code on this Github repository or see more details on the project here.

A C console program capable of computing operations on integers larger than 64 bits. In order to achieve this, integers are given to the program as string characters to the program, which then stores them as an array of 32 bits integers. In fact, we operate in a 2³² basis. My group was specifically responsible of this conversion, as well as giving the result back as a string character on the display.
More details on the project can be found in this pdf file.

Concept prototype designed during the Museomix2020 event, a hackathon hosted in “La Chartreuse de Douai” fine art museum in which I took part. During this event, several teams worked on new ideas to highlight the museum’s collection thanks to mobile-based systems. Ours, Museomatch, aims at facilitating communication between the outside garden plants and inside’s paintings with an association game. It follows the concept of dating applications, but gives information about common points between a given plant and the painting when the association has been found successfully by the visitor. The game is hosted on a Github Pages server through a Ionic web application, developed with the Angular framework. More details about the project can be found at this url.

I’ve been learning about 3D programming with OpenGL since my specialization course in 1st year of master, but really started developing my own application from scratch from september 2019. I was mostly driven by the wonderful resources available on the website Learn OpenGL by Joey de Vries.

Most of this work is available on this Github repository. I tried to implement different rendering techniques which needed to break and rebuild some parts of the code, so each step is stored in a specific commit in the history.

What I’ve learned to implement :

• Basic OpenGL application architecture and components (context initialization, storage of geometry with buffers and attribute pointers, texture reading and mapping, objects drawing commands…)
• Shadowing : calculation of an omnidirectional shadow map from a punctual light’s position and objects in the 3D scene
• Screen-space ambient occlusion
• Physics-based rendering using BRDF implementations
• Image-based lighting thanks to 360° panoramic pictures from this website
