Kruijff has been employed at the H-BRS since 2013. First as a PostDoc and since 2019 as a professor for Human Computer Interaction. From the beginning, he has been actively involved in the IVC with current research topics, for example in the area of augmented reality / virtual reality.

Kruijff wants to continue to take up and develop innovative and current research topics at the IVC. Together with Hinkenjann, he is active in the Games Technology Network, for example, which focuses on the topic of computer game development in cooperation with other universities in NRW.

Kruijff has been researching design, development and evaluation of 3D user interfaces in the field of gaming as well as in other professional applications for 25 years and wants to continue to advance this field. Especially in the area of haptics, there are still many research questions and numerous open challenges.
