As of January 1, 2024, the Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3mE) has changed its name to Mechanical Engineering. The NewMedia Centre was asked to produce a short video to promote this change at the front of the faculty building.
Students from Industrial Design Engineering reached out for support in the XR Zone where they created a VR application for their Bachelor End Project (BEP).
What is needed to achieve sustainable aviation? How can we accelerate that innovation? And what can we do for the existing fleet of aircraft? In this Pioneering Tech video, Rinze Benedictus and Marios Kotsonis provide answers.
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.
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.
