Keep Cool – Adaptive VR — AI Advanced VR Training

Berlin, 2025-10-01

When we started Keep Cool, the mission sounded almost impossible:

Could we measure stress in real time, fully mobile, inside a 🥽 VR experience

and use 🤖 AI to react to it?

🔵 To get there, we had to solve challenges from multiple worlds:

• Build a valid arousal-based stress model

• Create MR applications capable of provoking and measuring stress

• Identify and integrate the right sensor technology

• Process highly sensitive, personal and medical data in a compliant way

• Develop an AI system that dynamically adjusts the VR environment

• And make it all run smoothly, reliably and in real time

📈 What happened surprised even us. The outcomes are not just promising, they are remarkable:

• The stress model proved highly meaningful

• Emotibit delivered valid physiological data 🩺

• VR consistently induced measurable stress

• AI increased transparency and interpretability

• Trends and patterns became clearly visible

• Data remained fully traceable and reproducible

• And users showed exceptionally high compliance 🙌

👍 Considering the complexity of the project, the results are sensational.

They deserve to be strengthened, expanded and taken into the next phase.

So where do we go from here?

We are now evaluating additional applications, regionally and nationally:

• Resilience and stress training for military, police, fire brigades, THW

• Occupational health scenarios, e.g. for airlines

• Education and training in schools, universities, and professional programs

➡️ The big picture:

Keep Cool demonstrates how VR, physiological sensors and AI can transform how we understand stress and how we train people to handle it.

The journey is far from over. And the potential is enormous.

This project was made possible as part of a WIR! alliance. We would like to take this opportunity to thank WIR!-Bündnis MR4B for the support.
