The Media Lab is developing a 3D scanning service using the Creaform Go Scan, testing workflows and creating user-friendly instructions. The scanner captures detailed models of objects, while a new application will automate optimization and export to formats like glTF and FBX for various applications.

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.

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.
