In this groundbreaking research project, we are developing an AI-based, adaptive
virtual reality (#VR) learning environment together with our partners at the Hochschule für Technik und
Wirtschaft Berlin (htw), led by the Creative Media Research Group, and in partnership with the Serrala Group
GmbH. The goal of Keep Cool is to realistically simulate hazardous situations in industrial and commercial
contexts and thus effectively train the learner's risk assessment, perception and behavior. 🛠️🧠
🤯🥽 Under the leadership of the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (htw), the consortium
focuses on the (simulation) mechanical and audio-visual adaptation (MuAVA) of VR learning environments based
on the individual vital data of the learner. 🌡️🩺

Scenario 1 -
Construction Worker : This is the first of three test scenarios developed as part of our research
project KeepCool - Adaptive VR. 👷🏗️ How can #AI be used to adapt individual training needs based on vital
data in a #VR learning environment to train for hazardous situations in industrial and craft contexts?
In the construction worker scenario, set against the backdrop of a busy construction site, our learners must
perform a series of tasks critical to their role. 🚧 From installing nail plates to protect pipes to checking
and replacing fuses, each action is critical to maintaining safety and efficiency. But it's not just the tasks
that make this scenario challenging; learners also face a variety of stressors designed to simulate real-life
conditions. 🌪️🌧️

this scenario shared with our sponsers.
Scenario 2 -
Piloting a Helicopter : In the helicopter pilot scenario, set against the dynamic and unpredictable
skies, our learners must execute a series of maneuvers crucial to safe and efficient flight. 🚁 From mastering
takeoffs and landings on varied terrain to handling mid-air emergencies like engine failure or navigating
through turbulent weather conditions, each action tests their precision and decision-making. But it’s not just
the flying skills that make this scenario intense; learners must also cope with a variety of environmental
stressors, such as sudden storm systems, equipment malfunctions, and air traffic challenges, to simulate
real-world aviation pressures. 🌩️🌬️
Scenario 3 -
Mining : In the mining scenario, set deep within a bustling underground mine, our learners must
carry out a series of critical operations that ensure both productivity and safety. ⛏️ From safely detonating
charges to extracting valuable resources with heavy machinery, each task requires precise execution under
strict time constraints. But beyond the physical demands, learners must navigate the inherent dangers of the
mining environment, such as unpredictable rockfalls, equipment malfunctions, and low visibility, while
maintaining communication with their team. 💥⚙️ The added stressors of confined spaces, sudden cave-ins, and
hazardous gases simulate the intense, high-risk conditions faced in real-world mining operations.

Baseline Data Measurement Scene : TIn the
Baseline Data Immersion Scene, learners are invited to step into a tranquil natural environment designed
solely
for relaxation and mindfulness. 🦋 With butterflies drifting lazily through the air and swings gently swaying
in
the breeze, the calming sounds of nature—rustling leaves, birdsong, and distant water—envelop the scene. 🌳🎶
The focus here is not on tasks but on simply being present. Users can take a deep breath, immerse themselves
in
the peaceful atmosphere, and enjoy the serene visuals and sounds, allowing for full mental and sensory
relaxation. 🌿✨ This scene encourages mindfulness, stress relief, and a moment of calm amidst the noise of
everyday life.
