François Lehericey, Ph.D.
I am a doctor in computer science and specialized in virtual reality. I currently work for Microsoft at Havok. My subjects of interest include multiple topics related to virtual reality such as: collision detection for physics simulation (subject of my Ph.D.) and building information modeling for virtual reality (worked two years at Vinci construction).

This video show some example of simulations with cloths that use the method provided by the paper “GPU Ray-Traced Collision Detection for Cloth Simulation”. Collision detection is performed with ray-tracing and an inversion handling method correct error due to discrete simulations.
This video show examples of simulations that use IRTCD for collision detection. IRTCD (Iterative Ray-Traced Collision Detection) is a novel method that exploits spatial and temporal coherency. This video shows how our iterative method improve performances.
