EVR@ plateform

Project Description

The EVR@ (Environnements Virtuels et de Réalité Augmentée – Virtual and Augmented Reality Environments) technology platform, inaugurated in May 2004 in the presence of representatives of its various funding bodies (UEVE, Conseil Général de l’Essonne, CNRS), is the Virtual and Augmented Reality platform of the Université d’Evry Val d’Essonne; it is also one of the 22 technology platforms and technical platforms referenced by Genopole ®. EVR@ is fully in line with the UEVE’s essential missions: research, teaching and promotion to a wide public (researchers, industrialists, students, high school students and families).

Scientific directors: Malik MALLEM (Full professor), Samir OTMANE (Full professor)
