XR Bachelor End Project

The brief
For the XR Bachelor End Project, we worked with students from Industrial Design Engineering on a video production connected to their final project.

Behind the scenes
The source material for this project is limited, but like many student-driven productions, the work sat in translating a project outcome into a visual format that could present it clearly and professionally.

Why this one stood out
Projects like this are always interesting because they connect directly to student work and experimentation. They are often smaller in scale, but they show a very hands-on side of what we do.

Client: Students Faculty Industrial Design Engineering
VR technician: Sharif Bayoumy
Camera Operator: Geraldo Solisa, Hector Nieman, Boris Swaen
Student: Bart de Vries

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.

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.
