Li, Xiangyu (author)This research advocates for exploring the somatosensory system and its incorporation within XR systems, particularly in spatial recognition. This paradigm shift could introduce novel methodologies in XR design that perceive the body as a recipient of sensory stimuli and as an active participant in sensory perception. This could redefine our...master thesis 2023

Gupta, Yaman (author)The 3D Head-scanner is designed with the intent to scan a customer’s head such that the client can design personalized glasses using the generated mesh. The uniqueness of this process is due to the fact that the customers are uniquely disabled and therefore unable to clearly announce their comfort levels. The goal of this project is to design a...master thesis 2021

Kwa, F.S.S. (author)This thesis describes the design and development of an accurate and low cost 4D foot scanner in the context of podiatry. The intention is to make a first step towards the development of an affordable 4D foot scanner with commercial grade performance at a low cost, using commodity hardware. By doing so, 4D scanning can hopefully become more...master thesis 2021

Zevenbergen, Alex (author)In 2010, an estimated 15 million infants were born prematurely, which makes up 10% of all childbirths that year. Just in the Netherlands there were 11,530 preterm births in 2018. Since these children should be spending additional months inside of the uterus, they are delicate and need to grow until near regular gestational age inside of an...master thesis 2020

Foppen, Rosan (author)Falls in the elderly are a leading cause of injury, affecting one in three older adults annually. These fall incidents can lead to various disabling conditions, and therefore have the ability to affect one’s quality of life and independence. Not only are falls potentially taxing to the individual, they are also responsible for a big portion of...master thesis 2020

Ribbers, Tamara (author)A problem at the VUmc hospital in Amsterdam is that some patients become unrecognizable after the surgery. It is hard for surgeons to explain during the consultation how and how much the patients will change due to the surgery. Partly, because the surgeons cannot predict if the patient will become unrecognizable. Therefore, they tell them that...master thesis 2020

Weiss, A.J. (author)This thesis puts forward a design for an affordable 3D scanner that can easily capture accurate 3D models of the human hand. Such 3D scans are a requirement for designing and manufacturing personalised products, which open up a new world of design possibilities by tailoring products specifically to a single person. An example of such a product...master thesis 2017

Spijkerman, B. (author)Discus throwing outdoors provides the coach and athlete with direct feedback on the performance in the form of a final distance. Even by eye this can intuitively be judged. When switching to indoor training come winter, this intuitive measure is taken away as the athletes throw into a net suspended 5–8 metres in front of them. The coach believes...master thesis 2017

Essers, T.T.W. (author)The gloss-capturing prototype was a first step towards the reproduction of the gloss levels in different parts of the painting and the basic principles were verified with this system. However, it was not yet an integrated system with the 3D fine art scanner. For this thesis the different components of the gloss scanner have been analyzed and...master thesis 2016
