Profiling Students by Perceived Immersion: Insights from VR Engine Room Simulator Trials in Maritime Higher Education

Applied Sciences, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(7), С. 3786 - 3786

Опубликована: Март 30, 2025

Research on students’ immersive experiences with fully virtual reality (VR) technologies is extensively documented across diverse educational settings; however, in maritime higher education, it remains relatively underrepresented. Therefore, by using segmentation analysis, this study aims to profile engineering students at the Faculty of Maritime Studies, University Rijeka, perceived immersion (PIMM) within a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) VR engine room simulator and explore differences their learning benefits (PLBs), future behavioural intentions (FBI), satisfaction (SAT) HMD-VR experience. The sample comprised 84 participants who engaged preliminary trials. A non-hierarchical (K-mean) cluster combined Elbow method, identified two distinct homogeneous groups: Immersionists Conformists. results an independent t-test indicated that exhibited significantly scores regarding benefits, intentions, overall than underscore significance understanding subjective perception implementation further development education training (MET) curricula. However, as based specific case particular context, result may not directly apply broader student population.

Smoke Simulation with Detail Enhancement in Ship Fires

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(1), С. 101 - 101

Опубликована: Янв. 7, 2025

Smoke simulation is a crucial yet challenging aspect of constructing ship fire scenarios. For the Eulerian smoke method, low-resolution grid results in loss detail, while high-resolution faces significant computational costs. To address this issue, detail enhancement approach proposed for scenarios based on vortex particles, aiming at high-realism grid. The domain first discretized using to compute basic flow. Next, particles are sampled within grid, and vorticity measured before after stretching compensate missing details. In our approach, geometric method employed efficiently capture structures. demonstrate that turbulence details can be effectively captured maintaining real-time performance simulation. practical application value demonstrated improving realism

Exploring the Perceived Ease of Use of an Immersive VR Engine Room Simulator among Maritime Students: A Segmentation Approach

Applied Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(18), С. 8208 - 8208

Опубликована: Сен. 12, 2024

The integration of innovative technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), into maritime education presents a substantial challenge but also offers significant potential for enhancing training and knowledge transmission. This study aims to contribute the existing body by providing segmented insights students’ Perceived Ease Use (PEU) an immersive engine room VR simulator. analysed sample 58 students from Faculty Maritime Studies at University Rijeka, covering undergraduate, graduate, specialized programs. Through hierarchical non-hierarchical cluster analyses, two distinct segments were identified named Proactivists Moderates. findings reveal differences between extracted sub-groups regarding (i) perceived benefits using simulator in learning education, (ii) future intention use technology, (iii) overall experience. Study can directly aid educators software developers further implementation technology education.

Computer simulation of a marine engine room using fully immersive and interactive virtual reality

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2024

The use of specialised simulators as a form experiential learning is an integral part the education students at maritime universities and seafarers in various types vocational training centers. Conventional marine engine room (MERS) are essential equipment for gaining experience have been used (MET) more than thirty years. As MERS low level immersion, computer simulation innovative virtual reality has designed, developed tested to improve education, assessment engineering seafarers. User trials were conducted investigate impact fully immersive interactive on user perception, sense presence, psychological impact, performance efficiency compared conventional systems, well interest using new technology.
