About
Anatole Lecuyer is a leading researcher in virtual reality (VR) and haptics, whose work redefines how we interact with and inhabit digital spaces. His most influential contribution is the concept of **virtual co-embodiment**, which allows two individuals to share control of a single virtual body. This groundbreaking work, published in 2020 and garnering over 100 citations, fundamentally explores the sense of agency and opens new frontiers for collaborative VR, remote training, and rehabilitation. Lecuyer’s research also tackles the critical challenge of realistic touch in VR. He developed **Alfred**, a "haptic butler" system that uses a robotic manipulator to physically place tangible objects in a user's workspace, perfectly matching the pose of virtual counterparts. This on-demand haptic feedback enables natural and precise object manipulation, bridging the gap between the virtual and physical. By merging robotics with immersive interfaces, Lecuyer is not just enhancing VR realism; he is engineering the foundational interactions for future shared and embodied digital experiences.
