Changed on 25/05/2022
Interface is the technology demonstration space at the Inria centre at the University of Lille. Located at the very heart of French Tech and within the EuraTechnologies ecosystem, Interface presents the work of project teams working in collaboration with our partners in digital science.

Data science

Démonstrateur Smart Data

Smart Data: research contracts in collaboration with Alstom and HDFID

Smart Data is an illustration of variable data analysis based on advanced statistical methods, drawing partly on the software program MixtComp. The software shows how to get the most out of a large data set (big data), enabling this to be classified and interpreted and allowing predictions to be made.

Demonstration developed by the Modal project team, in association with Alstom and HDFID. Open data sources: Atos, Insee/MEL, J.C. Decaux and SNCF.

Artificial Intelligence

My Local Info

My Local Info

Many data are collected everyday via our online interactions. The data collection generates innovative services based on machine learning but also raises major problems about users private lives.
In response to these issues, Magnet project-team developed a protocol in order to calculate the data average of a high number of users, while assuring this data does not come out of the initial device, and the average being calculated by a central server.

Soft robotics

Démonstrateur Echelon3

Echelon III: a robot with flexible vertebrae

This demonstration gives one possible example of how a soft robot could be used: inspection. The head of the robot is equipped with a camera used to inspect different areas within the white box. The robot's capacity to change shape means it is able to get around obstacles, while its flexibility makes it less likely to cause damage to its immediate environment, and its 10 motors ensure enhanced dexterity.

Human-Computer Interaction

Démonstrateut Compensation latence

Latency compensation

Involving the use of a touchscreen tablet, this demonstration highlights latency reduction for interactive systems. It demonstrates a method that can be used to compensate the latency between the movement of a user’s finger and the movement of an object on the screen in real-time, improving interaction efficiency and the subjective preferences of users.

Demonstration developed by the Loki and Valse project teams, in association with the University of Lille within the framework of the ANR TurboTouch.

Software

Interface espace démonstrateurs Inria à Lille

Visualizing and understanding software

It takes an engineer 3.5 months to read a million lines of code. And while he's doing that, he can’t do anything else. He can’t understand its structure or identify certain properties. Thanks to these visualizations in these two posters, or other visualizations, the Rmod team offers a way to understand various aspects of a software application (architecture, dependencies, authors, hierarchy and inheritance, quality, bugs, tests...)
