Quantum International Services Ltd. (QIS) is developing an innovative AI-based In-flight Entertainment (IFE) system that will revolutionize air travel by offering a personalized and unique entertainment experience for passengers while assisting airlines with key operational functions. We are looking for a team of 8 experienced students to write a detailed software requirements proposal for this system. The project will focus on defining the technical requirements for AI, ML, backend and frontend development, platform architecture, and creating a custom OS specifically designed for our IFE solution.

This project will serve as the foundation for transitioning the system into TRL4, which will be an important phase in the next steps. Upon completion of TRL3, QIS will proceed to TRL4, where a specialized team of experts will begin the development of the custom OS and the integration of unique apps.
