A new crew member may need to understand how several areas of a vessel connect. VR maritime training can introduce selected spaces before boarding, giving later practical instruction a familiar starting point. High5VR can discuss a bespoke experience for your vessel and intended audience.
Build around a route and a role
Choose a purposeful journey, such as moving from accommodation to a designated work area. Introduce the locations and terminology relevant to that crew member. The module could ask learners to recognise a space, locate approved information or explain where they would seek help.
Use the actual layout when it matters
Filmed 360° footage can show an existing vessel. An interactive model may suit a proposed layout or an exercise involving selectable objects. These approaches have different production requirements. Decide what the learner needs to observe or do before choosing the format and level of detail.
Plan for the delivery environment
Confirm whether the application will be used ashore or aboard, which devices are supported and whether internet access is available. Offline delivery can be scoped, but updates and records need their own arrangements. Facilitators should have clear instructions for introducing the session and responding to difficulties.
Keep familiarisation current
Assign a content owner who can review changes to the vessel and its procedures. Link the virtual introduction to practical instruction and relevant required training. It should not be presented as a maritime qualification. Share your drawings, existing footage and one familiarisation objective to help us define an achievable first module.
