Immersive OWS Simulation A realistic VR simulation of a ship’s Engine Room Oily Water Separator, designed to provide hands-on operational training. In-World Trainee Login Trainees can log in directly through an interactive panel within the virtual environment before starting their training session. Module-Based Training Provides three dedicated learning modes: Familiarization, Training, and Assessment, supporting different stages of the learning process. Familiarization Mode Allows trainees to freely explore the OWS plant and select individual components to learn about without accidentally starting the system. Guided Start-Up Training Provides an interactive 11-step start-up procedure, guiding trainees through the correct operational sequence. Visual Guidance System Highlights the required component, displays instructions, and draws a route across the deck to help trainees locate their next action. Assessment Mode Tests the trainee's ability to independently perform the complete start-up procedure without instructions, highlighting, or navigation assistance. Interactive Plant Controls Trainees physically interact with virtual valves, switches, pipework, and the PPM monitor using their hands. Realistic Fluid Flow Simulation Simulates water moving through the pipework, allowing incorrect valve alignment to affect the system and prevent proper water flow. Separator Process Simulation Recreates the OWS process, including separator chamber filling and oil rising during operation. Dynamic PPM Monitoring Simulates an oil-content meter that warms up, gradually changes readings, and triggers an alarm when the discharge limit reaches 15 ppm. Error-Locked Assessment In Assessment mode, each component can be operated only once. An incorrectly operated valve becomes locked, creating a realistic consequence for procedural mistakes. Sequence-Based Scoring Evaluates not just whether a trainee completes the procedure, but whether each action is performed in the correct order. Detailed Training Data Records trainee performance for every step, identifying correctly sequenced, out-of-order, and missed actions. FastAPI Backend Integration Each training run is submitted to a FastAPI backend as a structured trainee performance record for centralized analysis and tracking. Meta Quest VR Experience Built with Unity 6 for an immersive hands-on VR experience optimized for Meta Quest devices. Assessment Pass/Fail Tracking The admin panel displays the trainee’s Pass/Fail status for each completed assessment, making it easy to review assessment outcomes. Sequence Compliance Tracking During Training mode, the system records whether the trainee performs each operation in the correct sequence. Out-of-order operations are captured in the trainee’s performance record. Missed & Incorrect Action Records The admin can identify steps that were missed, performed incorrectly, or completed out of sequence, providing a detailed view of the trainee’s performance. Familiarization Time Tracking The system tracks how much time a trainee spends in Familiarization mode while exploring the OWS and learning about its individual components. Part-Level Learning Activity Admin records show the trainee’s interaction with different OWS parts and the time spent exploring them during Familiarization mode, providing a clear view of their learning activity.
