Human-Machine interfacesLIMALight Interaction Materials AspectON GOINGPROJECTThe aim of this project is to master the appearance of materials. The research will allowthe restitution and the control of visual appearance of materials at differents scales ofobservation by developing a series of physico-mathematical models. These models willbe based on scale transitions from pigments to material and will describe the material’sinteraction with light. The project aims to a twofold approach: from compositionto appearance and from appearance to composition. It relates thus the virtual visualisationof the appearance of a manufacturable material and the expression of its physicalcomposition.CONTACTAlexis PALJICARMINES+33 (0)1 40 51 91 61alexis.paljic@mines-paristech.frTECHNOLOGICAL OR SCIENTIFIC INNOVATIONSThe project will use a bio-inspired design whichallows to design multifunctional materials usingmultiscale models, this aims at reducing the environmentalcosts related to the process (reducingmass, chemical compounds and solvents,life cycles). A particular attention will be paid tothe industrial feasibility and to the definition of new procedures (reverse engineering) ina What You See Is What You Get approach. It is indispensable for the design and the evaluationof visual aspects of materials to allow the observer to move around the object andto visualise it through different angles of view. The use of virtual reality technologies(dynamic point of view, interactivity, stereoscopy) is thus necessary to allow a dynamicvisual restitution of models. Adapted and validated models will be proposed for real timeintegration into virtual reality or augmented reality systems. The research will be basedon the formulation of pigments used in the production of paints (for the automotive industriesas an example), with the aim of controlling all the steps that influence visual appearance,from creative design to manufacturing and industrialisation.PARTNERSLarge companies:PSA PEUGEOT CITROËNSMEs:ELDIM, NAXAGORAS,SCALABLE GRAPHICSResearch institutes, universities:ARMINES (4 RESEARCHCENTRES : CENTRE DEROBOTIQUE, CENTRE DESMATÉRIAUX CENTRE DEMORPHOLOGIEMATHÉMATIQUE, CENTREDES MATÉRIAUX DE GRANDEDIFFUSION, INSTITUT DESNANOSCIENCES DE PARIS)STATUS - MAIN PROJECT OUTCOMES◗ Design of new ecological materials while mastering their visual aspect.◗ Avoid trial-error loops in the design process of materials end their aspect.PROJECT DATACoordinator:ARMINESCo-label:MOVEOCall:ANRStart date:January 2012Duration:48 monthsGlobal budget (M2):2.6Funding (M2):1.2Automotive & Transports WG33
