KNUD E HANSEN has developed a new Virtual Reality (VR) tool to aid ship designers and engineers.
ShipSpacetm is a next-generation Virtual Reality (VR) Design Verification Tool that allows designers, engineers and key stakeholders to validate design ideas and communicate effectively about vessel concepts and designs.
It uses VR technologies to enable users to walk around all areas of the vessel and get a better understanding of how spaces work, with a true sense of depth and scale, not possible with monitors or projectors.
The product consists of computer hardware and software on the customer’s premises and in the cloud.
Finn Wollesen Petersen, Managing Director of KNUD E HANSEN said, “ShipSpacetm is a cutting edge tool that our engineers and partners can use to design better ships, faster. KNUD E HANSEN has been an innovator in ship design since 1937 and ShipSpacetm is another step forward for us.”
“ShipSpacetm has proven to be an excellent tool for communicating and developing designs and ideas, by enabling stakeholders to walk around the vessel while it is still on the drawing board,” said Robert J Spencer, KNUD E HANSEN’s Head of Simulation Products.
