  • Saibo welcomes you to the lesson about biological waste processing. Saibo is floating next to a whiteboard, and in front of you is a lab table.
  • Choice of different lessons: an introductory lesson and various waste processing lessons
  • Various waste containers are next to the table in the lab.
  • Next to the waste containers in the lab hangs a diagram showing how to dispose of liquid waste.

Saibo's Lab 2

Your cheerful virtual teacher!

2021

Saibo is the super helpful virtual teacher who helps you with the rules for lab safety. To enrich education, we developed a virtual reality app for the Biology and Medical Laboratory Research program on behalf of Hogeschool Leiden. The app will also be used by mboRijnland and secondary schools. This app was developed in collaboration with Marlène Zwetsloot and Kim Hoogland.

    SoortSafari prototype

    Het Klokhuis sought an engaging way to teach children about nature around them. The concept of SoortSafari emerged from my earlier research at NTR and drew inspiration from Het Klokhuis' Dierenzoeker, which allowed users to identify animals they had discovered. With SoortSafari, the approach is reversed: the app provides users with assignments that send them into nature. The prototype featured a calendar and a quartet-style overview of plant and animal species. To complete assignments, users take photos, and AI technology determines if the correct species has been identified. This allows children to build their own collections and learn about nature in a playful, hands-on way. The prototype was met with great enthusiasm. Children engaged with it for more than 45 minutes and even climbed on top of each other to capture better photos of a pigeon perched in a tree. Based on these observations and insights, we began developing a production-ready version to expand on this promising concept.

    "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.

    Klokhuis AI Studio prototype

    AI is something that is increasingly common and has more and more influence on our daily lives, but most people still do not fully understand what it is. For my graduation project, I developed this AI Studio where children learn about AI and train their own AI. I wanted to explore how we could give the next generation more control over the subject of artificial intelligence through playful learning. To that end, I investigated an interactive dialogue as a medium, in which the various characters of Het Klokhuis guide you through the theory. With this research, I graduated with two 9.3s and a 9.4. The average grade of my bachelor's courses is an 8.7.

    Did you know that you have trillions of invisible pets in your house? But who are they? Can they stay? For NPO Innovatie, I conducted research into using WebAR to give stories for the youth more impact. With the Klokhuis Scanner, you can meet 10 of your invisible pets.

    With this prototype, we explored the possibilities of AR in a playground object for children. Through the telescope, you see an extra layer over the courtyard. You can interact with these elements using the lever under the viewer. This study project was developed together with Maisie Klaassen, Marlène Zwetsloot, and Irene de Koning.
