The award-winning application uses virtual reality to simulate visual and acoustic perceptions of astronauts during outboard missions at a space station - With the research project "Digital Astronaut - Outboard Mission in Space", the TU Ilmenau has won the university competition "Science Year 2023 - Our Universe". The winning application uses virtual reality to simulate the visual and acoustic perceptions of astronauts during outboard missions at a space station. For their victory, the young scientists will receive prize money of 10,000 euros, which they will use for their further research work. Space is completely silent and soundless. If a person speaks in space, their own voice has no sound. The same applies to noises, such as that of a cordless screwdriver during a repair on the spacecraft. For astronauts, the lack of acoustic feedback is a problem, because without sounds it is more difficult for them to recognize whether, for example, a screw is engaging and therefore correctly attached.
