Podcast: The Delft Code

The brief
The Delft Code is a podcast series in which Seyran Khademi speaks with guests about how AI, data, and design are shaping the world around us.

Behind the scenes
For this production, our focus was on creating a setup that feels visually calm and technically solid. In a conversation-driven format like this, the content should stay central. That means clean camerawork, strong sound, and editing that supports the pace of the discussion without getting in the way. Compared to our live productions, this kind of project depends less on scale and more on detail.

Why this one stood out
What we like about projects like this is the restraint they ask for. There is no need for big gestures. The work sits in getting the details right and making the final result feel effortless. When a conversation flows naturally on screen, that usually means a lot of careful production choices are doing their job in the background.

Producer: Stephan Voogd
Director: Christian Kasius
Camera Operator & Edit: Celine van Benten, Simone Breetveld, Hector Nieman
Sound Engineer: Vincent Groen

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.

The Lightboard: making blended learning more engaging at TU Delft

At TU Delft, blended learning combines the flexibility of online teaching with the impact of face-to-face interaction. One tool making this possible is the Lightboard—a transparent glass board that lets educators write while facing the camera. Unlike traditional slides, it shows both the lecturer’s explanations and their expressions, making learning more engaging and personal. From flipped classrooms to problem-solving videos, the Lightboard helps teachers share not just answers, but the thinking process behind them—turning lessons into stories that connect with students.
