NMC Media Lab

Innovation is in our DNA. We test, develop and experiment with new media technology to explore its potential and increase its value for education and research. Our lab is located in room 084 at the TU Delft Library. That’s where the new communication tools are born to serve the TU Delft Community: many of the ideas and experiments turn into projects and move on to a production stage. 

Whether you are looking for a media solution for your educational purpose, event or just an inspiration for your project, we are here to help. Our passion is to bring people and technology together in search for immersive communication tools that will serve the community.

Do you have a project to discuss?

What we Do

Experiment & Develop

The Lab is equipped with the latest media equipment like Power PC workstations, Cameras, Lights, Projectors, Greenscreen, Raspberry Pi’s, touch screens, 3D scanner, VR/AR devices and more. But most importantly, it’s equipped with multi-talented minds. Together with the NMC departments we test, develop, and deploy media ideas.

Collaborate & Share

We are surrounded by innovative ideas and solutions, as well as an amazing community with lots of expertise worth sharing. The Media Lab aims to be a knowledge hub where we actively look for partners and document our projects to educate the community. In cooperation with the NMC Academy we provide workshops and teach how to apply modern technology.
