Applying the augmented reality concept in maritime engineering personnel training
The article contributes to a common challenge for linking the academic training with the practical skills of maritime personnel in the current highly dynamic maritime environment. The article presents the concept of augmented reality, wider used in the field of information technologies, applied on the training and exercise of qualified engineering maritime personnel by combining real life data (technical indicators of different aggregates from the ship power system, location and development of fire, flood water, etc.) with computer generated data from the simulation complexes. The elaborated innovative shipboard training procedure of combining the work with the Ship Power Plant simulator, fire accident in the engine room, forecasting and alignment / reconciliation of the scenarios for the development of the fire and counter-action on a real fire field has no analogue.
