Building Immersive Visualizations for Welfare, Awareness, and Comprehension

COMEDO

Comedo is a project funded by ACT (Augmented university for Campus and world Transition), benefiting from a financial support of the government, administered by ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) claiming from the care investment programme (grant ANR-20- IDES-0001). The project is a collaboration between Bivwac and the University of Bordeaux:

  • Bivwac project-team (Inria, CNRS) – Bordeaux,
  • Living Lab alimentation - Bordeaux

The project started in January 2025, and will last 2 years.

Abstract

In mass catering spaces, menu options are often limited, making it easier to assess each option based on its environmental impact. The Comedo project aims to explore different ways of visualizing this data. We investigate how to make these data more engaging for users, so they can take them into consideration when they select one option. We design a hybrid panel that combines benefits from both physical and virtual vizualisations to make the data more impactful. This project includes short-term laboratory evaluations focused on user engagement, as well as long-term ecological assessments in the mass catering spaces at Bordeaux University. The project will conclude with the final design of the panel, which will be used to support Bordeaux University’s long-term objectives.
