Workshop examines the future of simulation


Increasingly, MARIN is carrying out simulations of complex operations on its simulators including multiple vessels or project teams working at different positions. The Aasta Hansteen project (see page 9) is a good example.


Additionally, the possibilities of new tech- nologies are continuously growing. Therefore, a workshop was organised on the future of simulation focusing on three subjects: the development of computer technology and visualisation techniques including augmented reality, the impact of ‘big data’ and the accessibility of data, as well as hardware developments like Microsoft’s HoloLens. One conclusion was that new technologies make it easier to include ‘human factor’ aspects in simulation. Sensors for measuring


heart rate and blood pressure are now in common use. It is possible to determine where people are looking (eye tracking), to do physiological measurements and to measure emotional elements.


Finally, MARIN’s clients shared their vision on the role of simulation. Certainly, there was a requirement expressed for a more sophisticated evaluation tool of simulation runs. For more information: Jos van Doorn, j.v.doorn@marin.nl
