My researches on alternative and augmentative communication for disabled people are devided along two dimensions :

Naturral Language Processing for people with special need,
Man Machine Interfaces for alternative and augmentative communication.

Disabled people ask more and more for light mobile devices that should replace their laptop on their wheelchair. This is why my works on Man-Machine Interaction concern above all mobile devices and more generally ubiquitous computing.

I am currently working on the new uses of picophones. Picophones are smartphones which involve a pico-projector (a LED-based video projector with a very reduce size). More precisely, I investigate the possibilities of gestual command with a picophone involving a 3D accelerometer. The difficulty here is to combine the opposite needs of the gestual command and the expected stability of the projection. For the moment being, we have achieved a complete gesture command which enables the user to interact with its smartphone with one unique hand. The use of this device with a picoprojector appears unfortunatedly to be restricted by the limited brightness of current projectors.

This done is done in collaboration with Franck Poirier

(LabSTICC - European University of Brittany) .

In the framework of the ITEA RECONSURVE

project, I am currently supervising the PhD of Benoit Rouxel which investigates the achievement of user-centered systems for the interactive control of maritime trafic.
