Aboard the Mayflower Artanim Foundation 2021-12-01 | Video capture of the VR experience exhibited at at MIR – International Museum of the Reformation from October 28th, 2020 until August 31st, 2021.In November 1620, the passengers and crew of the Mayflower reached the coast of Massachusetts and established a colony there. Among them were Puritan Reformers who crossed the ocean to found a community in accordance with their aspirations. This episode is considered in the USA as a founding moment of the country.This VR installation immerses users into the life of these pioneers just before they decide to land. Using a very light set-up, based on Oculus Quest, you begin your journey by discovering details of the Reformation Wall of Geneva before being transported inside the Mayflower in 1620 to witness the discussions between the pilgrims. Finally, you discover the bay of Cape Cod from the upper deck of the boat in the cold winter.

CycloVR - VR rehabilitation device Artanim Foundation 2020-01-13 | In this project, Artanim integrates a VR module to a "cyclo" rehabilitation device in order to get patients moving actively or passively into an immersive VR world that would make them forget during the time of care the clinical context (or even forget the pain). For example, a patient could go pedaling on a river at his/her own speed from an hospital bed. The goal is also to gamify the rehabilitation session in order to motivate patients to do physical exercises.

For each product, the animation shows the possible movements a patient can do when equipped with such a device.To create these animations, movements were mainly recorded by motion capture. The 3D models of fixators and skeleton were provided by Gexfix.
3DIM @ Caprices Festival 2015 Artanim Foundation 2016-04-01 | 3D In Motion (3DIM) was installed during the Caprices Festival 2015 in Crans-Montana. The setup combined motion capture using Microsoft Kinect V2 and 3D visualizations in Unity 3D. During the concerts, an interaction zone allowed people to dance and their movements to be captured and converted into 3D graphics in real time. The generated visuals were projected on a huge screen in the concert room.

Fashioning Movement - A new approach to fashion design Artanim Foundation 2015-04-13 | Today, the complex sensations of comfort (interaction body - clothing, suitability of fabrics, etc.) are subjectively evaluated on a static body. The goal of this project is to provide new knowledge about comfort and garment fit taking into account the body movement. The comfort sensation will be objectively measured with new 3D simulation tools on animated bodies, returning numerical fitting data. Finally, the existing perception of comfort will be innovated.

Analysis of shoulder joint rehabilitation Artanim Foundation 2015-01-11 | Strengthening of shoulder muscles in rehabilitation protocols and sport practice can be achieved by a wide range of different exercises and several types of technique. In presence of a rotator cuff lesion, articular cartilage pathology or instability, recommendations for design of a shoulder strength training protocol aim at avoiding or minimizing subacromial impingement and stress on the articular cartilages or labrum. Very limited objective data is at disposable to emit such recommendations.The goal of this study is to capture and simulate 30 to 50 rehabilitation exercises to study the impact on the glenohumeral joint (e.g. cartilage's compression, incidence of subacromial impingement) and rotator cuff (e.g. tendon lengthening of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor). Ultimately, this study will better target rehabilitation exercises of the shoulder.More info: http://www.artanim.ch
