Cloud-based simulation supports online training
Kongsberg Digital’s K-Sim Navigation Cloud, developed in the SkyNav project funded by Innovation Norway, is to provide high-quality simulation training in navigation and ship handling to supplement classroom studies. With an advanced physics engine and precise hydro dynamic modelling, the simulated objects that could well be present in a seaway behave entirely realistically, Konsgberg claims. The system provides basic navigation training that complies with DNV’s Class D requirements. A sophisticated visual system powered by Unreal Engine accurately models simulated geographical areas and all possible weather conditions....
