Why I love my job
A while ago I asked my parents what I wanted to become when I was a kid. They couldn’t really think of anything, which matched my own memories. Apparently I never had any specific profession I dreamed of. No obsession with becoming a pro soccer player, movie star or pilot (probably saving me a lot of disappointments). Together we remembered that I did have a fascination for the large office buildings we passed during car or train rides. What happened behind the windows of all those giant anonymous towers; what were people doing there?
Brochure voor al onze trainingen
De afgelopen jaren hebben we heel veel mooie trainingen mogen geven, in allerlei vormen en maten. Van lezingen voor honderden mensen, tot meerdaagse masterclasses voor kleine teams die werken aan onderwijsinnovatie. En voor deelnemers vanuit allerlei plaatsen in de maatschappij. Docenten uit het po, vo, mbo, hbo en universiteit. Ict-coördinatoren, mediacoaches, L&D professionals, directeuren, uitgevers, marketeers, filmmakers en programmeurs.
Wat hebben we ongelooflijk veel geleerd van iedereen!

Virtual Reality on a tablet?
Does Virtual Reality work on a tablet?
Not ideally, no. But as this picture shows, you can get the two images required on a small tablet. At least on this is Samsung Tab A 8.0. Combine this with a foldable VR headset, like the VR Square Mini we use, and you’re there!
Help jij jongeren 3D-werelden ontwerpen en programmeren?
Helaas zijn we op het moment niet op zoek naar nieuwe DigiDocenten. Je kunt je wel aanmelden voor de interesselijst. Dan nemen wij contact met je op, zodra we weer nieuwe trainingsdagen op de planning hebben staan.
Wil jij…
… leren hoe je zelf gemakkelijk 3D-werelden kunt ontwerpen en programmeren?
… jouw kennis overdragen op jongeren tussen de 9 en 12 jaar?

Augmented Reality Honours Class – Leiden University
Every year Robin teaches an Honours Class at Leiden University. The past years this course was Learning through Virtual Reality
In the fall of 2019 I will (almost certainly) start a new course ‘Augmented Reality & Human-Computer Collaboration‘, which has its focus on how AR will affect our society and influence the future of work.

Google: from finding answers to getting thing done
This summary of Google’s I/O 2019 event shows some of the impressive products Google is working on: new Augmented Reality functionalities, a smarter Google Assistant and cheaper Google Pixel phones.
What is really interesting about this event is the shift in the mission of the company:
“We’re moving from a company that helps you find answers to a company that helps you get things done”
This statement by CEO Sundar Pichai illustrates the developments in digital technology and the role digital products will have in our daily lives. The focus in articles on Artificial Intelligence is often on completely autonomous computer systems. The focus in this event however, is mostly on how smarter algorithms allow for more sophisticated computer interfaces for users.

Most famous GIFs in CoSpaces Edu
A while ago we made a virtual museum of a few of the most famous GIFs in CoSpaces Edu. Although this was mainly a fun afternoon project, we often show it to illustrate the possibilities for students to make virtual exhibitions for their school projects. Definitely more exciting than another Powerpoint 🙂
Why Nintendo’s new VR set shows Virtual Reality is mature
Recently, and after much speculation, Nintendo announced their VR set for the very successful Switch. An important moment in the history of VR, I would say.
Why? Not per se because of how many of these VR add-on sets are going to be sold. Definitely not because of the hardware specifications. Nor because of the games. Sure, Nintendo has the ability to create great games with limited processing resources. And we’re probably going to see some very creative uses of this whole set of cardboard extensions of your Switch. But that’s not what makes this device of importance.
