Sensorimotor Rhythm as Control Signal in EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interfaces

Background: A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that enables humans to control a computer by their brain signals. This can be achieved by modulating the sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) through both motor execution and motor imagery. The potential enhancement of spinal reflexes and motor control through SMR training is attributed to the...

ARchive: elevating the museum archive experience through the power of Augmented Reality

Museums are places where the objects displayed are on a pedestal, often quite literally. These objects are found to be of such importance to be selected and displayed for thousands of people, tourists or purists, to see. <br/>This experience of visiting an institution, viewing an almost sacred object you cannot touch, and reading the...

Building Blockchains: A Thesis about how we will Work in the Future

Work in The Netherlands seems to evolve along the line of technological inventions as a result of increased productivity rates. Because of its increasing productivity, the earliest technologies are quickly adopted in spaces of economic activity. Traditionally, the place to work was centralized so employers could keep an eye on their employees...

Designing a more inclusive museum experience: A strategic service concept to contribute to inclusion in the museum sector, by facilitating a mutually beneficial relationship between museums and their audiences

This project is about inclusion in the museum sector. Concerns around inclusion and equality are rapidly increasing. And, due to these societal dynamics, museums are in times of fundamental change towards inclusivity.<br/><br/>At the start of the project, a theoretic framework depicting the different layers and elements of inclusion was...

What does an Augmented Reality menu bring to the table for a Dutch restaurant?

Augmented Reality (AR) - a technology that integrates 3D virtual objects into a real environment in realtime - has recently gained a lot of attention and is expected to become a 100 billion dollar industry by 2023. Surprisingly, researchers present a different picture of AR. They wonder about the functional benefits of AR and the impact of AR...

An exploratory research into the design of a medical product-service setup with 2-way augmented reality for the maritime sector

Captains are responsible for the medical care of their crewmembers. To do this, they receive one week of training every five years during which they study the knowledge and practice the skills and processes to handle medical incidents on board. The week of training is not enough for the captains to handle medical incidents confidently and they...

Augmented Reality for enhancing the passenger experience

This project represents the graduation project of the MSc Strategic Product of the Industrial Design Faculty at the Delft University of Technology, carried out in collaboration with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines from February to September 2017.<br/><br/>With the steadily increasing challenges of fuel prices, new technologies and competitive...

Play your run!: A superhuman sports running game in mixed reality

This thesis describes the process of designing a running game in mixed reality, inspired by superhuman sports. <br/><br/>The process started with analysing the possible design directions in the development of (superhuman) sports and corresponding emerging technologies. For this purpose, the concept of superhuman sports is considered. Superhuman...
