ESILV and the Institute for Future Technologies hosted Irmandy Wicaksono, MIT Media Lab alum and Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, for a talk and academic visit dedicated to soft technologies and computational textiles. Within this context, the presentation focused on how soft materials and digital fabrication are reshaping interactions between technology, the […]
At PRICAI 2025, research carried out within ESILV and the De Vinci Research Center was represented by Pierre Lefebvre, PhD student, who presented recent work on efficient video violence detection. The contribution addresses key challenges in computer vision related to performance, computational cost, and real-world deployment. ESILV research represented at an international AI conference The […]
The Institute for Future Technologies and ESILV welcomed Lucy Li, PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, for a research talk and academic exchanges focused on speculative design, emerging technologies, and future imaginaries. Building on these speculative narratives, the discussion then shifted from conceptual frameworks to concrete exchanges with ESILV’s academic community, connecting research exploration […]
Noémie Combe, mathematician and the first ESILV faculty member based at the Montpellier campus, recently presented her latest research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her talk was part of VaNTAGe, an international online seminar dedicated to major open questions in number theory and arithmetic geometry. This invitation highlights both the academic reach of […]
Three doctoral researchers from the Institute for Future Technologies represented ESILV at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2025), one of the leading international conferences on Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). At this event, the students received the “Most Useful” Award. At the 38th ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, held […]
Preserve.Archi is a non-profit initiative introduced by Marc Teyssier, Deputy Director of the Institute for Future Technologies at De Vinci Higher Education. It aims to build a comprehensive digital archive of small-scale architectural heritage, starting with a pilot project in the city of Nantes. A European initiative to make overlooked architectural heritage accessible through 3D […]
At the ISEA 2025 symposium in Seoul, Institute for Future Technologies (IFT), PhD candidate Vivien Roussel, presented Living Machine. This speculative installation merges biology, algorithmic design, and digital fabrication to question our relationship with production and living matter. Positioned between biopunk and solar punk imaginaries, Living Machine invites a new kind of dialogue between humans, […]
Professor-researcher Xiao Xiao from ESILV and IFT participated in the Dimensions of Motor Control Conference hosted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Her presentation focused on her experiences with the theremin, a unique musical instrument played without physical contact, highlighting its relevance to motor control studies. Xiao also performed a live demonstration during the […]
Integrating technology into everyday life has been a growing challenge for engineers and designers. The Smart Socks project, developed by Anne-Julie Hoye, an MSc candidate in a dual degree program at EMLV and a student in the Creative Technology major at ESILV, and Inès Beaunoir, an Innovation & Creative Technology Student at IFT, is a […]
A recent example of ESILV’s commitment to research excellence is the publication of the paper Local Layer Splitting: An Additive Manufacturing Method to Define the Mechanical Properties of Soft Pneumatic Actuators During Fabrication by ESILV graduate student Thibault Charlet (Class of 2022) and Marc Teyssier, Professor-Researcher at the Institute for Future Technologies (IFT). This work […]
ESILV, De Vinci Higher Education Engineering School, and the Institute for Future Technologies (IFT) announce the installation of a state-of-the-art 3D printing machine: the Fuse from Formlabs. This advanced Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) printer will enable students and researchers to push the boundaries of design and create objects of near-industrial grade. A 3D printing machine: […]
