Virtual Reality at Thales

From 1990 to 2001 I worked at Thales as a software developer and project manager. Beginning with military projects using Neural Networks, I later joined a team of 3D pioneers coming from TDI (see history of Maya) to form the Virtual Reality group where our customers included the Industrial Design Department of Renault (France) and Honda R&D (Japan). I also participated in the “VR for Europe” project funded by the European commission.

You can see here a presentation of the Virtual Reality group of Thales, at that time.
