Leading scientist

Willem-Paul Brinkman is a researcher and examines the interaction between man and machine. But that’s not all.

Brinkman is more than just a researcher delivering intricate studies, which are only interesting for his peers. He leads the way by developing so-called VRET-systems and combating phobias with avatars and virtual reality.

Having a job interview or asking a girl out on a date. Social activities that can be at most thrilling or nerve-wrecking to some, but truly terrifying to others.
