PlaygroundVR is the virtual playground for children in hospitals, a place where they can play and socialize while stuck in bed.
I have been a Co-Owner and the Lead Developer for PlaygroundVR since December 2018. With a talented team of five people, we designed and built the virtual playground, and have brought it to children at hospitals and homes in the Netherlands, and abroad. We reached 11 hospitals and partnered with a variety of charities to broaden our impact.
We closed down PlaygroundVR in 2022.
The Interaction Lab is a place that connects different fields of research that involve interactive technology. The lab offers a space to study, interact, use, and discover new equipment.
I currently function as lead of the Lab Technician team at the lab, which means managing technologies & equipment, providing educational and technical support, and optimizing workflows.
I also host regular interactive workshops about XR & Unity3D.
