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.

Blended Learning Animations – Who Is the Engineer of the Future?
How do students discover who they want to become? At TU Delft, the Mechanical Engineering faculty paired with the New Media Centre’s Graphics team to address that question through animated storytelling. By developing eight distinct “Engineer of the Future” personas—each with its own narrative, style, and personality—students could see relatable career paths. Hand-drawn illustrations and concise two-minute videos translated complex concepts into engaging scripts, creating a compelling blended learning experience that inspires and informs.
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.
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.
