Point and Click Game Online course
To enhance medical education, Dr. Marjon Stijntjes developed a web-based simulation that teaches students to assess the revalidation needs of elderly patients after hospital discharge. Set in a virtual home environment, students gather clues by interacting with everyday objects, simulating real-life clinical judgment. The patient’s condition evolves weekly, training students to recognize change over time. Accessible via browser, the tool has been praised for its intuitive, gamified design and practical relevance — a powerful example of how serious games can transform healthcare training.

In the Media Lab we are setting up a 3D scanner service, currently we are testing and investigating how to implement this service. This includes
Supermarket Robot: Designing Socially Embedded Service Robots in Virtual Reality
What happens when a robot helps you shop? This question shaped a groundbreaking project led by Dr. Marco Rozendaal, where VR simulations in a supermarket explored how people and robots interact in public spaces. By blending design, theatre, and puppeteering, the research revealed how robots can earn trust and acceptance—not through perfect programming, but by designing behaviors that feel meaningful and socially appropriate.
