Wärtsilä Voyage, component of the innovation team Wärtsilä, has actually released Smart Realities– an affordable, conveniently scalable, as well as totally immersive expanded truth (XR) training as well as evaluation service for ship handling, bridge as well as aquatic design applications that enable sailors to establish their abilities as well as experience unparalleled as well as extremely sensible true-to-life situations in a digital safe setting.
As the delivery market frequently advances to take on the most recent smart as well as environment-friendly modern technologies, there is likewise a requirement to boost sailors’ training as well as discovering atmospheres to prepare them to effectively manage brand-new systems as well as procedures.
For this objective, Smart Realities applications can change the manner in which maritime academic material is provided, boosting pupil knowing as well as involvement, as well as motivating a brand-new generation of tech-savvy sailors. Combining today’s innovation with 25 years of experience in stereo hydrodynamical, mathematical as well as physical modelling, the service provides the degree of realistic look that is vital for expertise development as well as retention in intricate manoeuvres as well as procedures.
“There is little doubt that Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality applications will soon become an indispensable part of future volume training both as co-located and distributed learning. Smart Realities solutions are an essential extension of the Wärtsilä Simulation platform, utilising existing validated exercises, ship models and visual areas, and having all of the available instructional tools that simulation operators expect and need to achieve their learning objectives,” stated Johan Ekvall, Head of Product, Simulation as well as Training at WärtsiläVoyage “By providing multi-player capability, instructors can enter the virtual environment with the learners, or collaborative scenarios can be achieved from remote locations, offering an incredible opportunity to enable significantly better learning with technology.”
“I believe that Smart Realities create added value to the training programs which are already in place here at The Maritime Skills Academy. There’s a strong focus on situational awareness and decision making. The solution creates real-life immersive environments to make a simulation of the operations performed on board any ship, and the lifelike scenarios improve learning retention, job performance and team collaboration. We’re very pleased with the results and unique learning approaches Smart Realities have brought us,” statedCapt Josip Kulas, Director of Training & & Simulation, The Maritime Skills Academy.
Smart Realities is a functional service that can be used in mostly all modern technologies in navigating, design, as well as various other training areas. Smart Realities can be included as an expansion of an existing simulator to enhance it with bridge-wing circumstance as well as various other formats or established as a stand-alone, or mobile service.
To note the launch, Wärtsilä Voyage is organizing the Wärtsilä Smart Realities launch occasion today at the MSA Portsmouth training facility in Portsmouth, UK. The demos will certainly offer with a summary of the Smart Realities service.
