NewMedia Centre XR

We extend the possibilities of reality with the use of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality technologies. We are here to become your portal to the immersive world of XR (extended reality) and to assist students, lecturers and researchers in using, building and exploring this tech in education and research.

The XR lab is situated on the campus at the TU Delft Library. You are always welcome to get personal guidance for your project, test the latest hardware/software or just to explore existing VR solutions for research and learning.

Do you have a project to discuss?

Point and Click Game Online course 

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.

Supermarket Robot: Designing Socially Embedded Service Robots in Virtual Reality

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.

Reimagining Pop-Up Books Through Mixed Reality: A Collaborative Preservation Initiative

Reimagining Pop-Up Books Through Mixed Reality: A Collaborative Preservation Initiative

Pop-up and movable books captivate with their interactive artistry, yet their fragility limits access—especially in archival collections like the KB. Through an innovative collaboration between KB and TU Delft’s XR Zone, researcher Willemijn Elkhuizen explores how mixed reality (XR) can preserve and transform these delicate treasures. By translating the sensory and emotional qualities of pop-up books into digital and hybrid experiences, the project opens new avenues for engaging and safeguarding cultural heritage.
