For the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU using TUDesc has been very helpful in visualizing how different architectural designs will work in lecture halls for all the students to have good sightlines to the screens in the room.
This have made us save a lot of time and money as we can show architects and managers how their designs will compromise students’ ability to see the screens in the lecture halls.

BrightMotion provides professional AV-consultancy and Project Management. One of our disciplines is to provide insight into the quality of education spaces. TUDesc is used to determine whether displayed content can be viewed from any seat without significant effort. Without TUDesc, calculating and elaborating takes a lot of time and is less precise. TUDesc is essential for us to give good advice.
Campbell Jamieson, Learning Space Support Manager of University of Strathclyde:
"Great system. We integrated it a few months ago (read October 2023) and the support and back up is spectacular."
The TUDesc application is remarkable, not only for what it does but also for what is behind it. In my work in standards at Visual Displays ltd and, in particular, my work in Higher Education, Piet van der Zanden is an inspirational figure. His modus operandi is a combination of relentless curiosity, empirical research and a generous need to share, so his work is continuously peer-reviewed. His ‘Cookbook Education Spaces’ published from the TU Delft campus, where many of his learnings regarding the use of technology in pedagogy are captured, available to all, is a prime example. All these learnings and more are captured in the TUDesc package, which allows technology managers to plan, audit, adapt and manage large scale campus AV and technology estates. It continues to evolve, which will cement its role in helping technology managers and senior management to provide certifiably better experiences for teachers and students alike.
AV Award Judges, AV Magazine:
TUDesc had won the AV Award Control and Management Technology in 2021 and still is thankful for the judges' wonderful reviews: 1) "An exciting new technology that could go on to benefit not only education, but many aspects of the event and retail industry." 2) "Very clever and innovative tool which would save a lot of time and effort for an AV designer. A unique product that may well be a go-to across the industry." 3) "This management and design tool answers so many questions and challenges faced in the design of spaces. A well executed development of a tool that could have far wider impact and utilisation than education." 4) "TUDesc offers a tool for designing and configuring AV in education that should be adapted to the whole of the industry. It offers the ability to configure and manage AV design right through to integration, and will certainly continue to develop.”
Stefanie van der Veen, Erasmus Medical Centre:
“As scheduler for joint degree programs, I really enjoy working with ESViewer from TU Delft because I'm not familiar with all spaces at the university. ESViewer provides insight into which lecture halls are available, their layout, and the facilities they offer. When I need to find an alternative, I can use floorplans to find an adjacent building and avoid contacting colleagues with my questions. I'm so enthusiastic about this tool, we've been using ESViewer at Erasmus MC for some time now, and direct colleagues are also happy to use it, now we receive fewer emails with specific questions about the spaces. Our lecturers can use a link in the timetable to see which rooms are scheduled and, if necessary, look where they can find them. In my opinion, ESViewer is a tool with added value for all universities.”
Als roosteraar van een joined degree opleiding werk ik erg graag met de ESViewer van de TU Delft, omdat ik niet altijd bekend ben met alle ruimtes op de universiteit. De ESViewer geeft inzicht in welke onderwijszalen er zijn, wat de opstelling is en welke faciliteiten deze ruimtes bieden. Wanneer ik op zoek moet naar een alternatief, kan ik via de plattegrond op zoek naar een naastgelegen gebouw en hoef ik niet altijd naar collega’s met mijn vragen. Omdat ik zo enthousiast ben over deze tool, gebruiken wij sinds enige tijd de ESViewer ook binnen het Erasmus MC en maken interne collega’s ook graag gebruik hiervan en krijgen wij minder mail met specifieke vragen over de ruimtes. Onze docenten kunnen via een koppeling in het rooster bekijken in welke ruimte is geroosterd en indien nodig terugvinden waar ze deze kunnen vinden. De ESViewer is in mijn ogen een tool met toegevoegde waarde voor alle universiteiten.
