ABSTRACT
Delirious Departures is a VR experience in the form of an installation/performance. It questions the nature of travelling and our relationship to others. It explores the desire and impossibility of travelling, of leaving meaningfully in times of pandemic. The participant moves through impressive environments, based on iconic Belgian railway stations. An actor acts as guide, antagonist and director of the journey. The mocaped actor mixes with canned animations, intelligent avatars and figures in fixed poses, in various degrees of abstraction. Who is real, what is live? The experience of the participant is visualized in an experimental XR set-up which projects a mix of realtime video and computer graphics. The one-on-one performance builds on animation and crowd simulation technology developed by Inria and Cubic Motion (Epic Games).

Departures from a Queue with Many Busy Servers
<P>To analyze networks of queues, it is important to be able to analyze departure processes from single queues. For the M/M/s and M/G/∞ models, the stationary departure process is simple Poisson, but in general the stationary departure process is quite ...
Infinite Server Queues with Synchronized Departures Driven by a Single Point Process
We analyze an infinite-server queueing model with synchronized arrivals and departures driven by the point process {Tn} according to the following rules. At time Tn, a single customer (or a batch of size βn) arrives to the system. The service ...
An art-directed wrinkle system for CG character clothing and skin
We present a kinematic system for creating art-directed clothing and skin wrinkles on CG characters used in the production of computer-animated feature films. This system employs a curve-based method for generating wrinkles on reference poses, which are ...
