  • A glove with wires and chips on it. In the background is a laptop with a music program open.
  • Various actions of the gloves, such as rotating your index finger, which are connected to musical effects.
  • The glove up close. Each finger has a flex sensor, and there is a motion sensor in the middle.

Gloves

2020

During this project, Marlène Zwetsloot and I developed prototype gloves that could be used as an instrument. With AI, custom gestures could be trained that could then be connected to any music program.

    Klokhuis SoortSafari

    Over the past 1.5 years, I developed this app for Het Klokhuis, allowing kids to discover nature everywhere - even in the city! Ready for a SoortSafari? There's a new species every week, so collect all 52! For each species, Het Klokhuis presenters search for it in a vlog. Did you know this is Het Klokhuis's first production with built-in audio description in videos for blind and visually impaired users? No separate app or device needed. The image recognition is provided by Naturalis Biodiversity Center Netherlands and Waarneming.nl.

    Klokhuis AI Studio

    For Het Klokhuis, I researched and developed the AI Studio: an accessible website where children safely learn about artificial intelligence through play. In 2021, I developed a prototype featuring one interactive story and an interactive AI Machine. In this AI Studio, there are now 4 interactive stories and even more interactive AI available. All AI runs on your own device or anonymously at Het Klokhuis. Het Klokhuis has also decided to produce 4 episodes on this topic. The entire Het Klokhuis project on AI has won the Cinekid Award for 'Craftsmanship in a Series Production'.

    "Het water komt" prototype

    For the upcoming series "Het water komt," the innovation team of NTR wanted to investigate whether a podwalk in combination with AR would be a good match. To validate this, I developed a prototype in two weeks. With this prototype, a podwalk could be walked in Marken, and there were AR points where a 3D model was shown on location. By testing this prototype with the target audience, we could quickly gain insights into the potential of this combination.
