Titre de la diapositiveTitre de la diapositiveWhy VISIONS?

VISIONS is a professional virtual reality software devised to helpauthors build prototypes of interactive 3D content. It is aimed atthose working in film, television, animation, publicity, theatre,events, interactive software, games and web-page design.

Above all, it is intended to be easily used by people with modestdesign and computer skills. Its cutting-edge design allowsanyone to use it with just few minutes worth of training. Keyusers such as French director Mathieu Kassovitz, Irisia, HDThames or the BBC have expressed needs for virtual mock-upsof their work.

Example: DERIVEExample: DERIVE

Integration of different reality and virtuality oriented views for distributed learning. A construction kit (suite of modular building blocks) will enable students and teachers to link real local learning resources (machines, devices, actors, sensors) with distributed virtual ones (simulators, animators) by means of a new kind of telecoupling mechanism.

Philips - NL & F (LEP); RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana - I; Tecmath - D; TV Spielfilm Verlag - D; University of Brescia - I; University of Paris, Pierre et Marie Curie - F ; + BBC Archive - GB (sponsor)

AVIR has developed state-of-the-art DVB technology for the next-generation interactive TV with high-capacity home recorders. This involves an Electronic Program Guide on a personalized TV receiver+recorder with intelligent search & filtering for consumers to browse more easily through TV channels. It has contributed directly to MPEG7 standards for video editing (see pictures) and was one of the “hits” at IBC2000 in Amsterdam.

Can be separately edited and even taken out of the scene
