Whatever it will be, immersive virtual environments challenge our senses and abilities.
Without the constraints of the physical world, there are many new possibilities to leverage the sensorimotor loop.
+I will continue the work on the sense of embodiment.
+On the methodological side, there is still work to improve measures of embodiment, whether with qualitative metrics like in \refsec{sec:embodiment} or quantitative metrics with sensors.
+In addition to user evaluations, quantitative measures of embodiment could be used as inputs.
+It would be interesting to study the kind of sensorimotor loop we can create with this.
+More generally, I am interested in any method that leverages the sensorimotor loop.
+For example, I am part of a consortium that aims at leveraging microgestures in particular for virtual and augmented reality.
+In this project, I am interested in the combination of microgestures and haptic sensations to interact in immersive virtual environments.

\paragraph{Interaction in Space}
Humans will return to the Moon in the upcoming years with the ambition to keep a sustained presence at the end of the decade~\cite{smith20}.
The objective is to prepare for manned missions to Mars.
-This ambition requires developping space activities to a scale never seen before.
+This ambition requires developing space activities to a scale never seen before.
It will involve more humans and robots in space and mission control on Earth.
%It will not only involve space agencies, but also private companies.
Space challenges many aspects we take for granted on Earth.
Entities in space live in a completely different physical environment, for instance with low gravity.
And the interaction between entities on earth and in space suffers from communication constraints, like latency, limited bandwidth, and connection availability.
There are therefore many open research questions related to the effects of these conditions on the sensorimotor loop.
+Yet, space exploration has remained a niche topic in HCI research, gaining little attention and staying the exclusive domain of spacial agencies.
+
+My objective is therefore to measure the effects of space conditions on human activities to test the limits of the sensorimotor loop and propose mitigation strategies.
+For example, I coordinate a consortium of experts in HCI, communications, robotics, and dependability.
+Together, we aim at improving the teleoperation of lunar rovers.
+To achieve this, we will first work on the effects of space communications conditions on the operator's ability to perform actions, and compare different communications architectures and protocols.
+Then we will study the human control/automation trade-off with new rover controls and environment sensing.
+Finally, we will integrate our solutions and ensure they could operate in a fault-tolerant way.
+Later I will extend this work to robot fleets, controlled either from Earth or locally by astronauts.
+I am also interested in the communications between astronauts and Earth with seconds- or minutes-long latencies.
+It will be critical during operations, but it will also affect personal communications between astronauts and their relatives.
+The question of how we could interact between Earth and space is an important challenge for space exploration.
+
+
+
+%It is however a very promising area, in particular when considering the challenges of space telecommunication between an operator and a remote-controlled system like a rover under different contexts: Earth to Moon, Earth to another planet, atmosphere to ground, and so on.
+%Such activities require high precision and rapid remedial actions, which is difficult to achieve with delayed or deteriorated telecommunication channels.
