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

Blended Learning Animations – Who Is the Engineer of the Future?

How do students discover who they want to become? At TU Delft, the Mechanical Engineering faculty paired with the New Media Centre’s Graphics team to address that question through animated storytelling. By developing eight distinct “Engineer of the Future” personas—each with its own narrative, style, and personality—students could see relatable career paths. Hand-drawn illustrations and concise two-minute videos translated complex concepts into engaging scripts, creating a compelling blended learning experience that inspires and informs.

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.
