The IoT Bridge connects Grove-based IoT sensors to Unity and Unreal, enabling real-time data use in XR and game projects. With a Raspberry Pi image and engine plugins, it allows students and researchers to create immersive, sensor-driven experiences and explore innovative Serious-Game and XR applications.
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.
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.
In response to COVID-19, the TU Delft AI Labs & Talent Programme moved their poster event online, partnering with the XR Zone to create a 360° virtual walkthrough. This interactive platform showcased research from 24 Delft AI Labs, overcoming challenges with 360° imagery and 3D models. The project expanded to include new labs, research, and pitch videos, paving the way for future virtual events.
