Overview of Ship Handling Simulators
- From full-scale training for maritime professionals to entertainment for general users
- Compliance with global simulator requirements such as the STCW Convention and DNV Class A standards
- Combining navigation equipment and the latest CG technology to recreate a ship handling environment as close to reality as possible
- Offers various types of ship handling simulators, from full-mission type to VR type.
Type
01
Full-Mission Ship Handling Simulator
A high-resolution CG image is projected onto a full-surround large screen, accurately reproducing the ship's movements in real time. The navigation instrument suite, composed of actual equipment, allows trainees to immerse themselves in training with the same feel as operating an actual vessel.
The high-contrast images produced by DLP projectors are also well-suited for recreating the environment for night navigation training.
We can customize the design to meet your specific requirements, including the equipment configuration, size of the bridge, and projection area (such as floor projections).
Type
02
Compact Ship Handling Simulator
The compact ship handling simulator is ideal for installations with limited space, such as typical office environments. We can propose solutions including full-surround configurations with large monitors, desktop models using smaller monitors, and interconnected installations of multiple simulators.
Type
03
VR Ship Handling Simulator
The VR-type ship handling simulator is a new ship handling simulator that utilizes VR goggles.
The images displayed in all directions possess overwhelming realism.
We can offer solutions ranging from standalone VR goggle operation to integration into compact or full-mission ship handling simulator.
