Abstract

This paper presents Survey Simulator (SuSi), a Virtual Reality (VR) based training tool developed by
DNV GL. Survey Simulator offers virtual environments of various ship types and one offshore
structure. Various deficiencies (technical and safety-related) can be simulated in the virtual environment.
Trainees practice in VR finding and documenting these deficiencies. The paper describes key
features, practical aspects of creating virtual environments, training options, and feed-back from
users.

1. Introduction

Survey Simulator (in short SuSi) was developed for internal training of DNV GL surveyors, but then
developed into a training solution for external customers. It presents a “concentrate” of corporate
knowledge and “good practice” experience related to surveying maritime structures. The main idea
behind the SuSi’s approach is moving dangerous, time and cost consuming educational tasks into the
safe and inexpensive environment of Virtual Reality, Fig.1.
