Pioneering Tech | Sustainable Aviation
The brief
What does it take to make aviation more sustainable? How can innovation move faster, and what can be done for the existing fleet of aircraft? In this Pioneering Tech video, Rinze Benedictus and Marios Kotsonis share their perspective on these questions.
Behind the scenes
Our role was to translate a complex topic into a compact mini-documentary that feels accessible without losing substance. Sustainability in aviation is a layered subject, so the challenge was to keep the story focused and understandable while still doing justice to the research behind it.
Why this one stood out
This is the kind of project we enjoy because it asks for a balance between content and storytelling. The subject is technical, but the final video still needs to feel clear, engaging, and worth watching for a broader audience.

Holographic projection
The NewMedia Centre and Mexico’s Monterrey Institute of Technology piloted holographic teaching, projecting life-sized remote teachers into classrooms. Using cameras, projectors and software, the system enabled realistic remote lectures, presentations and meetings, opening new possibilities for immersive, borderless education.
Reimagining Pop-Up Books Through Mixed Reality: A Collaborative Preservation Initiative
Pop-up and movable books captivate with their interactive artistry, yet their fragility limits access—especially in archival collections like the KB. Through an innovative collaboration between KB and TU Delft’s XR Zone, researcher Willemijn Elkhuizen explores how mixed reality (XR) can preserve and transform these delicate treasures. By translating the sensory and emotional qualities of pop-up books into digital and hybrid experiences, the project opens new avenues for engaging and safeguarding cultural heritage.
Radioactivity
The Radioactivity project uses VR to make learning safe and immersive, letting students explore radiation through realistic experiments while teachers guide remotely. By overcoming safety limits and instructor shortages, this innovative VR app democratizes access to hands-on science, transforming how students experience and understand radioactivity across classrooms everywhere.
