Extended Reality (XR) technologies—including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)—offer transformative opportunities for education by enabling immersive and interactive learning experiences. In this study, we employed a mixed-methods approach that combined systematic desk …

Background: Extended reality is increasingly used for rehabilitation after acquired brain injury, offering benefits including improved recovery, reduced length of hospital stay, enhanced self-efficacy, and lower cost. Despite these advantages, XR is rarely implemented in daily rehabilitation practice. …

This save-system is vital to the Traingineers project, but due to the chaotic development cycle of the project, it has not yet been implemented. Traingineers started off as a prototype. After this prototype was accepted another one was made, reusing the old code, and then again. Through multiple re-iterations …

Technology-Based Simulation Learning (TBSL) is veelbelovend. Het maakt leren niet alleen leuker en veiliger, maar bereidt zorgprofessionals (in opleiding) ook beter voor op de praktijk. Daarnaast biedt TBSL kansen om het aantal leer- en werkplekken uit te breiden – iets waar nu al een tekort aan is, …

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a leading cause of disability in adults worldwide, resulting in physical and cognitive challenges. Rehabilitation is often prescribed depending on the symptoms and severity of the injury. Technologies like robotics, wearables, and extended reality (XR) have been explored …
