Hugo Huurdeman

Researcher & Designer

Imagine using virtual reality to step into the past or learn in entirely new ways – that is what I do. I am Hugo, a researcher, designer & educator with over 15 years of experience in creating engaging interac­tive tools. Creativity is essential to all my ventures. I thrive on discovering new insights & sharing these with others.

I currently work on UX design, development and ideation at Bookarang (part of NBD Biblion). We create AI-based book recommendation tools. Previously, I was a researcher in the Virtual Past Places project @ the 4D Research Lab, Univ. of Amsterdam. Besides, I conduct creative projects.
