Hello everyone, welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education. In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to reconnect with a returning guest — Thomas Van Bouwel, the creative mind behind one of VR’s most elegant puzzle experiences, Cubism. Last time Thomas joined us, we explored how Cubism invited players into a meditative world of calm, spatial problem-solving. Today, he’s back with something completely different — Laser Dance, a new mixed-reality experience that turns your physical room into a dynamic obstacle course where you move, dodge, and flow through lasers in real time. We’ll talk about how Thomas transitioned from designing quiet, contemplative puzzles to creating full-body movement experiences, how mixed reality is reshaping play and learning.
