3D VIRTUAL REALITY

• 3D visualisation of various ship compartments
• Access to Local Operation Posts from 3D visualisation
• Control and functionality adjustment from 3D visualisation

 

Imitation of Local Operation Posts in Machinery Compartments

• Trainee selects a starting point and a point of destination.
• A video from a real vessel shows a walk-through to the destination from MCR.
• This eliminates the need for ‘gaming’ experience to navigate to a given location.
  It also adds real time constraints into full mission resource management exercises.
• On arrival trainee can operate the selected local operation post.
• The machinery space 3D visualisation allows trainees to move to an individual piece of equipment and to operate it.
