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 today’s constantly evolving education landscape, there is a growing demand for innovative solutions driven by the integration of cutting-edge technologies. This demand sparked the
In collaboration with Hogeschool Fontys, TU Delft, and XR Zone, we developed an AI-driven Teacher Classroom Simulator for didactics courses. The project explores how VR can enhance teacher training by offering immersive classroom experiences with real-time feedback. Virtual students simulate authentic behaviour, helping educators refine their skills. By prioritising practical applications, the platform aims to make innovative, immersive education accessible and adaptable to diverse teaching contexts.
