Abstract
The main aim of the CASTLE (Cabin System Design Towards Passenger Wellbeing) European project is to deliver innovative interiors solutions that maximize the comfort and wellbeing of passengers in the next future. To achieve such objective, an effective HCD (Human Centred Design) approach has been employed to derive a Human Response Model based on a holistic assessment of comfort. The overall methodology has been conceived to provide different tools and methods to collect data on the impact that the design of each cabin item has on the user from the earliest design stages. One of these tools is represented by using 3D virtual mock-ups to capture data on the user’s perception and to rate the level of appreciation inspired by the specific design. In this paper we present the experimental procedures and the results from a preliminary experimental campaign of Human in the loop simulations in Virtual/Augmented Reality of a Regional Aircraft.

This paper reports the results from the preliminary experimental campaign for the assessment of visual and interaction comfort in a regional aircraft virtual environment
Despite the limited sample size, this first set of participants allowed us to validate the experimental procedure, to understand whether the time assigned to each phase was well estimated and to have feedback concerning some interaction features designed for CASTLE
