Gong, Zhengya (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Nanjappan, Vijayakumar (author), Georgiev, Georgi V. (author)Previous studies have clearly established the impact of culture on design creativity. For example, the presence of cultural values with low uncertainty avoidance (UA, the degree of anxiety and risk aversion that people feel during ambiguous situations) is linked to low workability of creative ideas. Currently, there is limited research on...journal article 2024

Rijsdijk, Joris (author)Virtual Reality allows for the ultimate immersion in environments not naturally encountered. Still, hyperbolic environments are extremely difficult to get used to. This paper explores whether immersion in virtual hyperbolic environments can be enhanced by introducing a procedurally generated world. We propose a Wave Function Collapse (WFC)...bachelor thesis 2023

Snellenberg, Ravi (author)It is possible to use a different representation of space in a Virtual Reality (VR) game, instead of using the euclidean representation we are used to. The reason why that is interesting is that it opens up the possibility of traversing infinitely far in the virtual space while being confined to a relatively limited space in the real world. But...bachelor thesis 2023
