Leeuwarden European Capital of Culture: Het huis dat met je hersenen speelt

By Special Projects
Reading Time: < 1 minute

Leeuwarden is not only the home base of the Dolphin Swim Club. In 2018, it was the Cultural Capital of Europe as well.
The event is an excellent opportunity for celebrating and highlighting local art. So naturally, when we were asked to participate in one of the first interactive expositions in the area of e-Mental Health and innovation, we couldn’t say no.

Het huis dat met je hersenen speelt

Het Huis dat met je hersenen speelt (the house that tricks your brain) is a collaboration between Jamzone and different parties from the North of the Netherlands. All professionals and pioneers in the area of healthcare, innovation and digital technologies. The house itself is an architectural masterpiece, where psychology, serious gaming, virtual reality, augmented reality and design go hand in hand with healthcare. All innovations in the house are focussed on positive influence on the brain.

Rotary Club: Isa swimming with virtual dolphins

Meeting Isa was a very special experience for us.
Isa, a very positive young teenager, suffers from a serious muscle disorder.
She had a long-cherished wish: to swim with dolphins in the wild.

Together with Rotary Koggenland, a community service organisation in the Netherlands, we organised an experience she will never forget.
Many thanks to Isa and her family, Rotary Koggenland, Anneke Koeckhoven, Rosalien van Dolder, Alex and of course our wild dolphin friends.

DIT IS EEN SNEL GESCHREVEN DUMMY TEKST TER ILLUSTRATIE / INSPIRATIE
After the success with our dolphins, we decided to record a 360 degrees Virtual Reality experience with seals. We produced the film together with our partners from VIEMR at the Dutch seal rescue centre in Pieterburen. The seals in this video are released back into the wild as soon as their treatment is over.

Hospital

Children in the hospital will especially enjoy this footage. It’s not easy to be young and hospitalized.
We hope to provide a sense of comfort when children see the seals in a similar hospital setting.

Six lenses

We shot the video using specialised gear, including a camera with six lenses. We opted to film rescue seals as the water in their home – the Wadden Sea – is too dark and visibility isn’t great. Besides, it’s a real challenge to find so many curious seals in the wild.

Curious

Nevertheless, filming this special wasn’t easy. You can’t tell seals what to do or where to look.
Yet we still managed to present the viewer with a sense of interactivity when watching the film using VR-goggles.
There are some curious seals, so we managed to shoot some awesome scenes.
