Maersk Safety Training

Mooring on a ship is a dangerous procedure that require the crew to be aware of their surroundings and often results in deadly accidents. In this project we were asked to create a safety simulation for Maersk to address the issues onboard their ships, specifically the lack of hand signalling as well as not being able to learn from mistakes in real life. The training simulation was developed for the Oculus Quest with motion controllers. Crew members get to experience a mooring scenario in a safe environment that allows for mistakes. It was important that we replicated the procedures onboard the ship in a believable way i.e. using physics to simulate the ropes and replicating the physical interfaces that the crew will have to operate during mooring. The crew members will communicate with NPC's using a walkie-talkie while also receiving instructions from the captain.
