Summary

Magic Window is a choreographic piece in augmented reality (AR), created for the renovation of the Aula des Cèdres in Lausanne, Switzerland. Through screens of mobile phones or tablets, users can see the space of the Aula des Cèdres in direct but also virtual dancers embedded in the image and disseminated on the site.

For this piece, we created the 3D bodies of the dancers using body scanning technology, and we performed the motion capture and animation of the virtual dancers.

Summary

Immobilization and prolonged bed rest are causing deleterious consequences at the musculoskeletal, pulmonary, cardiac, endocrine and metabolic levels. Physical exercise is an effective way to maintain muscle strength and limit these adverse effects.

The University Hospitals of Geneva developed a “Cyclo” rehabilitation device that adapts to the patient’s physical abilities, irrespective of the nature of his/her pathology (neurological, orthopedic, etc.) and his/her conditions of hospitalization (bed, chair, wheelchair). Several scenarios are proposed according to the type of movement (circular, linear).

In this project, Artanim integrated a virtual reality (VR) module to the device in order to get patients moving actively or passively into an immersive VR world that would make them forget during the time of care the clinical context (or even forget the pain). For example, a patient could go pedaling on a river (as in the video above) or take a bike ride in the countryside by pedaling at his/her own speed from an hospital bed. The goal iss also to gamify the rehabilitation session in order to motivate patients to do physical exercises.

Summary

For the creation of the music video “The Craving Society” by Cycle Opérant, Artanim did the motion capture of the dancer Pierre-Yves Diacon. For this shooting, we used our Xsens tracking system to allow the dancer to move in a large industrial environment.

Summary

In medicine, augmented reality (AR) technology can offer added value over traditional education, assessment and interventional approaches. By combining our expertise in motion capture, 3D anatomical modelling and AR technology, new solutions can be proposed to improve medical treatment.

In this project, we developed an anatomical see-through tool to visualize and analyze patient’s anatomy in real time and in motion for applications in sports medicine and rehabilitation. This tool allows healthcare professionals to visualize joint kinematics, where the bones are accurately rendered as a holographic overlay on the subject (like an X-ray vision) and in real-time as the subject performs the movement.

Summary

The goal of this project was to simulate reverse shoulder prostheses (RSA) to evaluate the variability of several biomechanical factors and the impact on the range of motion. In particular, we were interested in evaluating the effect of glenoid lateralization, humeral inclination and critical shoulder angle (CSA). These computer-assisted simulations provided operating parameters which aimed to minimize the onset of articular conflicts and luxations.

In this project, Artanim was responsible for dynamically simulating reverse shoulder prostheses from kinematic data.
