van den Berg, A. (author), de Vries, B. (author), Breedveld, Z.A. (author), van Mierlo, A.M.A. (author), Tijhuis, M.J. (author), Marchal Crespo, L. (author)Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has gained popularity in neurorehabilitation for its potential to increase patients’ motivation and engagement. A crucial yet relatively unexplored aspect of IVR interfaces is the patients’ representation in the virtual world, such as with an avatar. A higher level of embodiment over avatars has been shown to...journal article 2023

Jia, T. (author), Vallendar, A.J. (author), de Vries, Rinze (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Taormina, R. (author)Supervised Deep Learning (DL) methods have shown promise in monitoring the floating litter in rivers and urban canals but further advancements are hard to obtain due to the limited availability of relevant labeled data. To address this challenge, researchers often utilize techniques such as transfer learning (TL) and data augmentation (DA)....journal article 2023

(author)Storm conditions can lead to excessive dune erosion with potential floods as a consequence. Barrier islands and low-lying countries protected by dunes are especially vulnerable to dune erosion. To properly assess the risks these areas face, a clear understanding of the physical processes during dune erosion is required. One of such processes is...conference paper 2023
