Simulator training at home by Jim L. Hansen

Virtual Reality (VR) training simulators opens a new way of how we train together digitally. VR simulators on laptops are today as powerful as traditional solutions, and with internet connection you can invite an entire crew to the virtual bridge and train together. Even the instructor can join and participate.

Morild Interaktiv have developed a series of training simulators for the maritime industry – both conventional installations and VR simulators. In 2018 we delivered a state of the art 360 degrees full mission ship bridge simulator to Rolls-Royce Marine, located at the Norwegian Maritime Competence Center (NMK) in Aalesund, Norway. Today we deliver the same simulator on a laptop using VR technology. The cost difference in both acquisition and operation is dramatic. Another benefit with the VR versions is that it is portable, enabling you to take training anywhere in the world.

One of the main advantages with our VR simulators is that you and your colleagues can team up and interact as if you were together on the same location. All you need is a laptop and internet connection. By using VR headset you can see and talk to your crew and work together to execute and complete scenarios. All actions can be recorded for playback and evaluation later on.

This also significantly reduce travel expenses by bringing employees and instructors together in a virtual environment. With fully immersive training, personnel can also learn faster and better, and retain processes with a hands-on approach - helping to greatly reduce the likelihood of future mistakes.

Technology makes it now possible to get better training at a significantly lower cost, and VR plays an essential role when we now are moving from physical to virtual training simulators.

We are more than happy to demonstrate our training simulators – get in touch and let us setup a Skype meeting.
