In the recent article “Playing Serious Games with Virtual Reality”, the
Maritime Executive addresses
how SQLearn has created VR
familiarization walkthroughs using basic sections of a tanker vessel.
SQLearn has developed its Dolphin Platforms - a complete suite of
specialized learning services for the shipping industry - focusing on the
seafarer's active participation in the learning matrix while reducing the time
and cost of the training process.
According to the company, VR technology offers unsurpassed
scenario-based training opportunities. Now easily deployable at sea or on land,
seafarers can play Serious Games with an autonomous device that generates
interactive games designed to achieve specific training goals.
Applications of VR technology in the maritime industry include ensuring
crew have the experience they need to safely and efficiently deal with
situations such as mooring operations, machinery adjustments, galley fires or
engine room explosions.
