Ye, Xiaochen (author)Over recent decades, the quality of death and dying has received much attention in society. Many patients with terminal cancers or admitted to intensive care/acute units are in need of care for the end of their life (Susan, 2015). With this need rising up, palliative care service is gradually developed mainly as the setting of hospice or home...master thesis 2020

van Wegen, Myla (author)Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the most common neuro-degenerative diseases worldwide, affecting patients’ ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL), such as cooking and dressing, and consequently decreasing Quality of Life (QoL). Most ADL require dexterous skills which are often impaired in PD. Pharmacological therapy is often not...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Anouk (author)With the introduction of Automated Vehicles (AVs), new potential traffic situations could emerge on the roads. Although several studies on AVs have been conducted, most of these studies focus on the AV technology or on the driver, while there is less emphasis on how these AVs could interact and communicate with other road users. The interactions...master thesis 2019

Rodriguez Diaz, Josema (author)Due to the increase in flight demand and pollution impact that it has, the idea of the hyperloop concept has gained relevance in our society. Even though the hyperloop concept is still in a conceptual phase, there are already several companies working on it. Here in the Netherlands, Hardt Hyperloop is developing its vision. The hyperloop is a...master thesis 2021

de Clercq, Koen (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) are being developed by several companies and research groups worldwide. The implicit communication (e.g., eye contact) of the vehicle or driver seems to play an important role in the expected behaviour of vehicles. It is possible that vulnerable road users (VRUs) are less able to estimate the intention of vehicles (e.g.,...master thesis 2017

Raja, Adhityan (author)Dementia is an umbrella term for progressive loss of cognitive abilities, which mainly affects elderly- affecting relationships, feelings and behaviour. A person living with dementia (PLWD) might forget the names of their grandchildren, the face of their loved ones, important places and life events. Due to the rising population growth with more...master thesis 2023

op de Beek, Robin (author)Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have the potential to enhance the capabilities of the architect. This thesis explores the implications of the integration of these technologies intothe architectural design process. It provides a theoretical framework by discussing what VR & AR would mean to the architect’s workflow, and to his workspace...master thesis 2018

Giltay, Joris (author)An issue in driving simulation is that behaviour displayed in simulation does not exactly replicate behaviour in real-life. For example, roadside vegetation density impacts a driver’s speed and lateral position in on-road studies, but not in driving simulator studies. In this study it is investigated if the increase in fidelity and presence that...master thesis 2019

van Lit, Casper (author)The Rubber Hand Illusion is an illusion in which<br/>visual cues of stimulation on a fake hand are combined with<br/>synchronous tactile cues on a participant’s hand, which can<br/>induce a sense of bodily ownership of the fake hand. This<br/>technique does not facilitate synchronous movement of the<br/>hands, and asynchronous stimulation or...master thesis 2018

Henny, Jasper (author)This document details a lab study into bimanual synchronised haptics, followed by the design of a product that can be used in combination with the SenseGlove to provide their wearer with haptic feedback based on how they operate a steering mechanism in Virtual Reality. The Dutch Ministry of Defense approached SenseGlove B.V., a company...master thesis 2019

Broeders, Annelies (author)Virtual reality technology has captured the human imagination since before the first ceiling mounted glasses were invented in the 1960’s. Curiosity towards seeing what we can’t see and experiencing what we can’t experience, is one of the drivers behind societal and scientific progress.<br/><br/>In 2012, the technology saw a new phase of...master thesis 2018

Hanssen, Ruben (author)During the last few years, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has evolved at an impressive pace. The newest VR systems offer a high level of visual realism and accurate interaction with the virtual environment through spatially tracked controllers. This technology is increasingly being applied in many professions, but in architecture and urbanism...master thesis 2017

Cornelje, Sebastian (author)This thesis explores combining Extended Reality (XR) with traditional co-creation methods to construct a unique and integrative design facilitation method named XR+. The XR+ method is intended to be used at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to aid in the process of innovative cabin design. However, the method is not limited to cabin design and...master thesis 2023

Dalal, Aman (author)The global aircraft fleet was predicted to grow by approximately 40% between 2017 and 2027 by Oliver Wyman (2017). This fast-growing fleet needs to be supported by equally developing Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) divisions of airlines. In light of the growing need for more efficient and technologically advanced aircraft maintenance,...master thesis 2020

Altobelli, Federico (author)The key factor for the success of virtual reality is immersion, which is the condition where the user loses awareness of being in an environment which is not real. Immersion is achieved by replicating human senses. In this context, introducing eye-tracking into VR can increase the immersion and open up a wide variety of applications. Among eye...master thesis 2019

Cheung, Pak Long (author)Futures is a topic that is inherently fuzzy, as everything beyond this moment can potentially happen. The uncertainty that is related to futures makes it not only difficult to imagine and convey, but also challenging to study. <br/>In this exploratory research study, the powers of VR as a foresight tool and a general research tool (for potential...master thesis 2021
