D-CEET Project launched
June 2024
We are excited to announce the start of D-CEET, a new project with external page Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT), funded by the German external page Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) in the scope of the external page mFund innovation initiative.
Today, training for airline crew members takes place almost exclusively in elaborately reproduced cabin dummies and simulators, so-called CEETs (Cabin Emergency Evacuation Trainers). The aim of the D-CEET project is to fully replicate an Airbus A320 CEET as a “digital twin”. The resulting data model is intended to enable fully immersive training of all relevant training content in virtual reality (VR) and additionally as a tablet-based application.
In our sub-project, we will validate the effectiveness of the new training concept using eye tracking and other physiological sensors in systematic studies with crew members.
