The Saxion XR Lab has developed a digital twin of Enschede Station for the Smart Cities research group. The primary objective of this digital twin is to present information about urban design in a user-friendly manner. It does so by giving citizens the option to selected different plans for the station area and then shows what this does with the temperature. Here users can opt for more parking space but also a park setting or a more recreational design. It demonstrates the impact of warm temperatures on the station and provides visual representations of different areas within the station. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to showcase the station in various settings, such as a greener or more recreational environment. Through a touch screen users can select different options to observe the temperature transformation and express what they find most important about their chosen design. If you want to learn more about this project, please contact us. We appreciate your insights and tips.

Will the future of training in VR look like this? After finishing his internship at the XR Lab, Kevin Nijkamp, a student at the Saxion Creative Media and Game Technology study program, continued working on his assignment in his own time. He remodeled some of the operation room (OR) equipment and converted the existing scene to Unreal’s Lumen system to see which visual fidelity he could reach. The virtual OR is part of a research project we do with the Leiden University Medical Centre and Saxion research group of Technology| Health & Care and focuses on multi-user VR training for anesthesiologists. Here, we explore if VR can be used to train communication while working under stress.

We are excited to share our new production server with you. Our friends at Silverdraft build us a portable edge-computer with 4x NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU cards, an AMD Threadripper PRO 5975WX 32-Cores and a Wifi-6 module, in a custom-made case. This beast of a machine allows us to push the boundaries of VR technology and real-time rendering. It allows us to render realistic multi-user VR applications for up to 4 people in any location. The server can also be used for projects that require a lot of computational power. If you are interested in learning more about this machine or VR development in general, feel free to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you and share insights and tips.
