Thèse de doctorat co-dirigée par Edouard Gentaz

I'm currently a Phd Student. My thesis is about the " Evaluation of the effects on control of the manual gesture of the addition of haptic interfaces ".

I share my time within three laboratories : TIMC (Techniques de l'Imagerie, de la Modélisation et de la Cognition), LPNC (Laboratoire de Psychologie et Neuro Cognition) et INRIA-GRAVIR-LIG (Institut National de Recherche en informatique et en Automatique).

• One goal of the TIMC laboratory, team GMCAO (Gestes Médico-Chirurgicaux Assistés par Ordinateur), is to provide help to surgeons while performing medical gesture via the substitute perception paradig (http://www-timc.imag.fr/Yohan.Payan/sensory.html).
• LPNC is a team, mainly concentrated on studies of mental functions, particullaly haptic perception. This team has a real expert knowledge concerning human experimentations.
• Finally, as a part of INRIA, the i3D team is an augmented/virtual reality research team, dealing with 3D interactions. This team has several virtual reality systems : a virtual reality workbench, Omni, PhanTom, Spidar, Head Monted Display,...

This thesis in realized in a doctoral school of INPG (Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble).

The objective of my thesis is to evaluate the effects of adding haptic and tactile systems while performing a manual gesture (with visual control).
