Eric Bruneton is our old nemesis :D

But seriously, he's concentrating more on the physical correctness than on the usability in games. As he wrote in a mail to me, his primary goal is to publish research papers, pioneering the way. His approaches are always inspiring to us, but there's also a lot of work involved in simplifying and reducing the load.
