3D Interaction with Virtual Worlds based on Brain-Computer Interfaces

1 PhD position opening on: “3D Interaction with Virtual Worlds based
on Brain-Computer Interfaces”

1 PhD position is available at the National Institute of Research in
Computer Science and Control (INRIA) in Rennes, France. The project
is in the area of virtual reality (VR) and Brain-Computer Interfaces.

The PhD program aims at designing and testing novel 3D interaction
techniques with virtual worlds based on Brain-Computer Interfaces.
Brain-computer Interfaces (BCI) enable a user to send commands to a
computer using only variations of his brain activity. Traditionally,
BCI aim at providing communication to those who have lost their
voluntary muscle control. However, they could also be used for other
applications, such as for the purpose of interacting with videogames
and 3D virtual worlds. Main objectives of the PhD is thus to
investigate and design novel interaction techniques specifically
adapted to the use of a brain-computer interface to interact with the
content of a virtual environment in 3D. These BCI-based techniques
will aim at improving basic operations required in virtual world such
as navigation, or selection and manipulation of a virtual object “by
thought”. A series of experiments with participants will be planned
to evaluate the various techniques.

The candidates should have experience and/or strong motivation in
either: virtual reality, 3D user interface, brain-computer
interaction, human factors, or other relevant topics.

PhD position is available: October 2008.

Location: BUNRAKU research team, INRIA, Rennes, France.

Interested candidates should send CV, selected publications and the
names and addresses of three references
