Title: Small Boat Training Simulator


1
Small Boat Training Simulator
  • Randall Barnett
  • Supervisor Prof Arthur Sale

2
Project Goals
  • To produce a training simulator for small
    water-going craft that closely follows real-world
    physics.
  • To develop a training package to supplement
    practical instruction.

3
Description
  • Currently, only have to buy handbook and take
    examination without need to undertake training
    course.
  • A revised computer game that will closely
    follow the physics of real water-going craft and
    the environment.
  • Allow instructors and students to execute
    scenarios
  • Scoring based on student performance

Competitive Analysis
  • Large Scale
  • Texas AM university, Maritime College
    (Launceston) - bridge simulator
  • Home entertainment
  • Virtual Skipper
  • Popularity of Microsoft Flight Simulator

5
Technology
  • New computer Game - Virtual Sailor
  • Studies into wave dynamics, ship stability, etc.
  • Training courses

6
Difficulties
  • Real-world physics modeling can be calculation
    intensive
  • Typical games-programming considerations - e.g.
    Collision detection
  • Simulation is only as good as the programmer(s) -
    does the simulator encapsulate the crucial
    aspects of boating?

7
Discussion Feedback
  • What would you want in this simulator?
  • How should the simulator requirements be
    prioritized?
