VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATIONS ON SHIPS IN USE
Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) technology is one of the rapidly developing technologies. It's widespread usage varies from entertainment to education and engineering. While technological advancements in displays, graphic cards and processors let VR born, its underlying laws has not specified for every part of life. This paper examines applications of Virtual Reality on ships and other marine structures. Their implementation has been elucidated from two perspectives: hardware and software solutions, approximate cost analysis, mathematical equations for design, modeling, construction and inspection, as well as the co-operation and training of people as if they were on board. Two main articles are examined. It's found that some shipbuilders tried to develop their own software at first. But nowadays taking advantage of game engines is more preferred while the mathematical equations behind them are still reasonable.
