In this paper, we present the case study Circus Noel, a VR tight rope walking act with which the use of movement in cinematic VR was explored. We use the notion of spatial presence as discussed by Ryan, and its potential to induce an ‘illusion of non-mediation’. Seven users were interviewed about their experience. The results of this case study provide insight into the way a user’s body may be represented in cinematic VR by two moving feet, without disrupting the sense of presence.

Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (ZUYD) and partners will develop photoflow chemistry reaction set-ups that will be powered with light as sustainable energy source, and as such contribute to the transition of the current chemical industry to a climate neutral one. To develop these reaction set-ups, a consortium of partners from the Dutch, Belgian and German chemical and high-tech ecosystems will cover all aspects related to required hardware, e.g. transparent reactors and energy-efficient light sources, automation and multiphase reactions. The mix of partners from academia (University of Amsterdam: the Noël group), an applied research organization (TNO), Center of Expertise CHILL, ZUYD, the Brightlands Chemelot Campus and multiple companies (Beartree Automation, Chemtrix, Creaflow, Ecosynth, De Heer, Innosyn, Mettler-Toledo, Peschl Ultraviolet and Swagelok Nederland) ensures an efficient and integrated development along technology readiness levels (TRL) ranging from two/three to five/six. Together we will answer the overarching question: With which advanced reaction set-up(s) can we efficiently perform and further optimize multiphase solution-based photochemical reactions that require gas and/or solid reagents, and efficiently showcase our capabilities? The development of the advanced reaction set-ups will allow us to answer our research question: How far can we extend the applicability of photoflow transformations beyond the current commercial state-of-the-art by the use of advanced reaction set-ups? Dissemination of several demonstrator transformations using our advanced set-ups will showcase capabilities of Light-Up partners and speed up the uptake of photoflow chemistry in industry. We will develop the next generation of advanced reaction set-ups for photoflow chemistry by combining the knowledge of the chemical and high-tech sectors, and facilitating knowledge exchange between sectors, to contribute to a climate neutral industry.
Deze aanvraag betreft de productie van een viertal experimenten, uitgevoerd in samenwerking met MKB partners, op gebied van interactive storytelling voor 360 graden media. In deze video-experimenten gaat het om het testen van elementen voor de nieuwe beeldtaal, die vereist is voor 360 graden film. Gedurende de looptijd van het project worden drie symposia georganiseerd waarop alle betrokkenen de studies bespreken. Naast MKB hebben ook de omroepen VPRO en AVRO/TROS zich aan dit voorstel verbonden, alsmede de VU, UvA,TU Delft en de Nederlandse Filmacademie.
