AR/VR Bridge Training
E3. Technology, digitalization and smart shippingDefinition
Immersive simulator-based training.
Bridge and navigation training delivered through augmented or virtual reality headsets, presenting a stereoscopic bridge scene the trainee operates without a physical mockup. It supplements, but does not replace, the STCW simulator framework: STCW Code Section A-I/12 and Regulation I/12 set the performance standards and instructor/assessor requirements for simulators used in mandatory training. Class simulator types run A through S under DNV-ST-0033. AR/VR is a delivery medium; certification still hinges on meeting A-I/12 fidelity and assessment criteria.
