NewMedia Centre Stories

DUT25 – Rollout

We do a lot of shows for Dream Teams, self-managed student teams that push innovation by designing and developing an iteration of a groundbreaking product with a new team of students each year. This ranges from a solar powered boat to an exoskeleton.

Generally, each team has a design presentation, where they reveal the goals and outlines of their concept, and a design reveal, where the final product is presented and demonstrated. Usually, these events are in the Auditorium on campus, but the Formula Student team demonstrates their electric vehicle on the Market in the city centre of Delft.

To livestream this event, we’re presented with a few unique challenges, ranging from the availability of power and an internet connection to weather-proofing our equipment. In close contact with the student team, we discuss possibilities for creative shots, graphics and other show elements.

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.

3D Scanner

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.
