The document discusses emerging technologies like virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality (AR) and their applications in maritime training. It outlines some challenges with conventional training methods and how new technologies can help address these. VR can be used to simulate real-world situations for safer training. AI and AR also have benefits for education like digital assistants, increased engagement, and universal access. While these technologies provide advantages, challenges also exist around issues like costs, addiction to virtual worlds, and technical problems. The document examines several current uses of these technologies in maritime industries and implications for maritime training institutions, such as a shift to more experiential, online, and collaborative learning models.

Its not the right fit for every subject
Not every teacher excels at public speaking
5. Common Problems Faced by Students
In eLearning
Adaptability Struggle
Technical Issues
Computer Literacy
Time Management
Self-Motivation
6. What is Virtual Reality?
VR is referred to as immersive multimedia, is a
computer simulated environment that can recreate an
imaginary world.

13. Benefits of VR & AI
Teach more with less at low cost of equipment.
Ensures Safe working environment to eliminate
serious risks.
Equipment can be updated on the field itself
without huge new capital outlays for equipment.
Learning by doing.
No requirement of physical infrastructure by
spending huge amount to installing labs.
14. Advantages of VR & AI in the Maritime
Training
Students are creators of content
Improves quality of Education
Digital assistants
No language barriers
Increased student engagement
Outstanding visualization
No difficulty in explorations on concepts
15. Challenges of using VR & AI in maritime
training
Deteriorates human connection
Lack of flexibility
Functionality issues
Addiction to the virtual world
Quite expensive
17. Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) system combines the real
world with virtual information
Provides expanded and information-rich view of the
environment to the user.
Have been around for a few decades
Number started to grow significantly only during the past few
years.
Training becomes visual
Becomes more visual than in the traditional environment.
Real-life experiences taken into the digital world.
Learning is safer
Workers can gain familiarization with complex situations and
risky environments.
Workers can practice in real life scenarios until they are near
perfect.
18. Marine industry - AR and VR applications
Ship simulators
Shipbuilding
Electronic Navigational Aids

19. Challenges and limitations of AR
Technology challenges
Sociological challenges
Privacy challenges
There are many other issues related to AR
new/emerging problems :
Unauthorized advertising,
Security
Spam
There could be a number of issues whose real challenge
we will need to tackle as applications increase!
21. Used cases actual applications in maritime
sector
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) - teamed up with Fujitsu
Laboratories Ltd., and Tokyo University of Marine Science and
Technology
Verify the accuracy of technology to estimate vessel
performance at sea by applying Fujitsus artificial intelligence
(AI) technology.
Project is a part of MOLs initiative to assess the effectiveness of
AI technology.
Aims to reduce fuel consumption and vessels environmental
impact by verifying the accuracy of the technology, using
Fujitsus AI Technology to estimate vessel performance at sea.
22. Used cases Actual applications in maritime
sector
K Line LNG Shipping (UK) Ltd - Mr. Yuzuro Goto,
Managing Director,
3D simulation tool, developed by Propel that his
company uses for training crew on board.
Propel has developed a 3D-simulation model, entitled
SAYFR, in an effort to allow people on board and ashore
to interact in different scenarios.
Centre of Excellence in Maritime Safety (CEMS) &
Kongsberg Digital is providing Virtual Reality solutions
Enhanced training experiences with the use
Mixed reality, virtual reality, augmented reality and
augmented virtual reality.
23. Used cases Actual applications in
maritime sector
W辰rtsil辰 Seals & Bearings
Augmented reality and smart glasses in stern tube seals & bearings
services, -
Improve repair, operations.
The person on site can send and receive visual images,
Listen to the specialists advice,
Receive written instructions right in front of his eyes on see-through-displays.
Augmented reality can stimulate employees brains, making them
learning interactive and easier.
Organizations can thus achieve:
Increase in productivity.
Lowering of costs.
By making operations safer and more efficient.
24. Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology
Allows high-quality 3D models of people to be
reconstructed, compressed and transmitted anywhere in
the world in real time.
When combined with mixed reality displays such as
HoloLens, this technology allows users to see, hear and
interact with remote participants in 3D, as if they are in
the room.
Communicating and interacting with remote users will
become as natural as face-to-face communication.
Used cases actual applications in
maritime sector
26. Implications for MTIs - Uberization
Disintermediation, digital economy, on-demand economy, sharing
economy, access economy, gig-economy
Everyone is starting to worry about being ubered!
The 'Uber-economy' redefines - Concept of work, Dragging us
to a freelance-economy!
Users benefit from new affordable & innovative services
U - Suddenly wake up to find your legacy business gone
27. Implications for MTIs?
Uberization of education Aggregators model???
Change from Brick and Mortar to Virtual Universities
MIT Open Courseware | Free Online Course Materials
www.coursera.org
Online classes for candidates
Online teachers who will teach and clear doubts
Teaching BOTS which will replace professors using Holoportation!!
Using AI, the BOTS will improve their delivery of content basis machine
learning
Algorithms will prompt and send out relevant links for students to improve
their learning.
Results: Deep experiential learning for the students !!
28. Implications for MTIs?
Conventional classrooms may not exist!!!
Uberization effect!!
There will be Open courseware institutions with authorization
from - Flag state/ Other authorities to deliver digital training?
Focus will shift from training to evaluation!
The standards and barriers to evaluation will rise significantly!
Experiential learning will produce better quality and more ship
ready seafarers.
Machine learning & VR supported by AI and AR will improve
the skill levels of seafarers onboard.
There will assessment of seafarers basis their onboard
performance
Proof will be available onboard - seafarer are actually good at
their jobs CoCs may not be required.
29. Conclusion
As the technology for AI with VR equipment is expensive:
MTIs may have to collaborate with international large companies with
deep profits to launch pilot consumer equipment's of AI with VR for the
maritime training .
If this technology is adapted in short period of time which will result in
the equipment cost to drop to considerable price so that all the maritime
training institutes can afford to adopt and install the AI with VR
technology in all MTIs
There is suggestion going around that different MTI s can mutually
decide on areas ( CoE centres of excellence ) where they specialise and
invest wisely their hard to earn income.
