Une analyse cognitive de la perception de la coopération forme-mouvement dans les animations virtuelles

In this work, we carried out psychocognitive experiments about the human cognitive behavior faced to a new generation of virtual animations. These animations are based on motion synthesized by means of physical modeling, and synthetic shapes mapped on the so produced movements. The novelty of these animations is that we associated two complementary kinds of figures: on one hand, the movement, as it is built using physical models, which presents realistic and coherent dynamics, and on the other hand, various non realistic shapes that are mapped on them. With this process, we created paradoxical and questioning animated pictures. Through the experiments, we are investigating the impact of these unusual animations on the human perception and cognition. This led to a first set of human's behavior observations and some first results on human cognition and perception faced to such new perceptive stimuli. Mainly, our approach is to experiment the creative perceptual posture of human subjects confronted to novel types of artistic animations.
