Title:    Orientation microtracker at the CEA

Speaker:  Dr Yanis Caritu

Abstract: 
  This talk will first give a quick introduction to the CEA-Léti
  followed by a presentation of technologies developed in the Lab (and
  especially orientation trackers).  A demonstration will be given, after
  which there will be a discussion. 

Biography:

  Dr.  Yanis Caritu is an Engineer of ? Ecole Nationale Supérieure de
  Physique de Marseille, France. 

  His PhD thesis was done at CEA-Léti in Institut National Polytechnique
  de Grenoble; its field of research was magnetic localization of
  ferromagnetic mobile with high sensitive NMR sensors. 
  His work  experience includes:
  - 1 year work with the Army Health Center in Functional Magnetic Resonance
    Imaging
  - Application engineer & developer at Animation Science - Monte-Carlo 
    methods and particle systems software. (engine of Particle system in 
    Softimage).
  - Manager of the Virtual Reality Department at Medialab/Canal+ in Paris 
  - Virtual reality software CLOVIS on SGI. Performance Animation.
  - CTO at SIRIA Technologies - 3D Visualization and modelization of 
    environmental phenomenon.  
  Today, he is a research engineer at CEA-Léti since 2000.He has had
  active participation in creating a start-up based on CEA-Léti
  Technologies. 


  The CEA-Léti is one of the most important national research institutes
  in France.  The team works in a project named "Microsystems for Motion
  Capture".  It is based in Grenoble which is a well-known place for the
  microtechnology industry.  The Léti is the most important research
  centre in micro and nano technologies in Europe.  The team involved in
  the collaboration has a range of cross-disciplinary expertise
  (electronics, micro-packaging, information processing, systems,...).
