Acknowledgments

We would like to thank our industrial partners for providing us with study sites and opportunities to evaluate the methods described in this book in real-life situations. In particular, we would like to thank MANN+HUMMEL for their contribution through the financing of the Time to Concept Chair, which has given rise to a number of the research projects presented in this book. We think in particular of Jérôme Migaud, Bruno Langer, Philippe Rhoumy and Luc De Keyser. Our thanks go to the Arts et Métiers Foundation for its support to the Chair, in particular Gilbert Paulezec and Roger Stanchina, but also Aurélien Agnès who supported us for 1 year in this scientific program. Of course, we would like to thank the representatives of the steering committee of the Time to Concept Chair: Jean Quessada, Ivan Iordanoff, Alexandre Rigal, Xavier Château and Xavier Kestelyn.

We would also like to thank Charles Mille for the numerous exchanges that contributed to the reflections on the methods and tools, and also Thibaut Guitter and Benjamin Poussard for their participation in the research work and the design of the virtual reality tools, as well as Marie-Pierre Verrier for preparing the numerous communication and scientific sharing events that punctuated this program.

Numerous scientific collaborations with researchers from our team or outside have also contributed to this work, in particular Olivier Christmann, Geoffrey Gorisse, Philippe Blanchard, Marc Pallot and Laurent Dupont.

The students of the MTI3D Master’s at the Institut Arts et Métiers de Laval contributed to this work by realizing some of the technology elements presented in this book.

Finally, thanks to Laurent Chrétien and the great team of Laval Virtual for their logistical support and for the regular exchanges on the uses of immersive technologies that have stimulated our creativity over the years.
