Pointcloud based anatomy: Synthesis project report

The declining availability of practical hours for medical anatomical education has prompted Enatom to develop a digital anatomical platform, utilizing the open-source WebGL-based point cloud renderer Potree. This platform, which employs detailed point cloud scans of anatomical structures, aims to offer a dynamic and interactive educational...

Simulation of the Dutch electricity system: A software expansion for the Illuminator

The aim of this report is to discuss the design of the software that creates a simulation for the national electricity grid level of the Netherlands. This is done by further developing the open-source energy system integration development kit called the Illuminator. Where the goal of this software is to create an extra case, add a Graphical User...
