Maritime Safety Education with Augmented Reality (AR) Technology (Case study: Introduction of Ship Safety Plan)

Abstract

Augmented Reality is a technology that can combine 2-dimension or 3-dimension virtual objects to be added to the real environment and combine them so that they can create mixed realities and project them into real-time. Augmented Reality is a field in which virtual objects are integrated into a real environment in real-time. This technology-based on the android application is applied to facilitate education media and inspection for life-saving appliances on board. All life-saving appliances can be displayed alongside the information and the location of the object. Utilizing AR is possible to be used as educational media to get precise information relating to the locations, objects, and quantity. Therefore, by becoming visible, it is possible to increase the sense of realism and immersion of this technology.
