Before finalizing the design plans for the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, requested by IDOM’s client, a flood risk analysis of the site is required. Within this flood risk analysis, the impacts on the SWRO site will be simulated during a rainfall event with a return period …

Traditional non-linear models offer Dutch municipalities limited insight into the social behaviour of local stakeholders, even though this behaviour largely determines the success of policies in complex sociotechnical systems. This study addresses the following research question: “How can an agent-based …

This research explored whether machine learning models could predict shifts in participants’ preferences and attitudes towards energy solutions based on behavioural and self-reported engagement data collected during visual educational interventions. Through four sub-questions, the study evaluated how …

By combining immersive audio elements with the visual assets of the narrative-driven horror game andquot;Shadow of Singraven,andquot;. This thesis investigates how sound design can be developed to improve player immersion. Using reference games and horror movies analysis to guide design decisions, the …

This paper investigates how visual cues—also known as nudges—can be systematically evaluated for their effectiveness in influencing player navigation within virtual reality (VR) environments. The research aims to establish a structured approach for testing and comparing visual nudges by observing player …

The document is about the development of a VR experience in Unreal Engine 5, focused on the sense of scale. The research covers interior design for an environment, developing digital fashion assets along with a custom sculpted metahuman character. All of that wrapping up into a storyline to be experience …

ENPICOM is a biotechnology company shifting its focus toward machine learning operations (MLOps), but its branding did not reflect this change. Brand materials were inconsistent and lacked a clear direction, which made it difficult for designers and marketers to maintain a unified identity. This project …

This thesis focuses on the design and development of an emotion-evoking humanoid creature design for Morpheus Labs, to facilitate the creation of a horror VR experience in Unreal Engine 5. The project focuses on the client’s lack of knowledge about creating an effective and emotionally impactful design, …
