Other projects supported by the FR SCV
The Research Federation Visual Sciences and Cultures (RF VSC) aims to advance interdisciplinary research around three major axes:
- The visual forms of knowledge transmission, using digital technologies;
- The enhancement of cultural heritage, in both its tangible and intangible dimensions;
- Digital devices for scientific and artistic mediation.
This work, conducted in collaboration with research laboratories, relies on interdisciplinarity, advanced digital technologies, and partnerships with businesses in the cultural and creative industries to amplify the impact of research.
The Field of the Cloth of Gold
A long term project
The project aims to create a sensory 3D immersive experience of the spectacular meeting between two Renaissance courts. It recreates in three dimensions the encounter between King Francis I of France and King Henry VIII of England, which took place from June 7 to 24, 1520. Based on historical manuscripts, the project involves modeling infrastructures and reconstructing textiles, food, and sound elements from the banquet at the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

This study aims to determine whether the facilitation of tactile stimulation applied to the body by a visual stimulus located in peripersonal space is better predicted by the spatial proximity of the stimulus or by the delay before impact. To this end, participants are asked to perform a tactile detection task in a virtual environment.

Sensorimotor adaptation and social distances
This study falls within the field of cognitive psychology, with a particular focus on visual cognition and perception. Specifically, it examines how individuals build and update spatial representations related to their body, and how these representations vary based on motor experience and sensory feedback.

Impact of social anxiety and tendencies toward ownership on space-ownership interaction: An eye-tracking and behavioral analysis.
The main objective of this study is to examine the behavioral and eye-tracking responses of healthy adult participants when interacting with virtual objects presented in peripersonal and extrapersonal space, depending on whether the objects belong to themselves or others (object ownership).
