Abstract

This paper proposes integrating Virtual Reality (VR) into the ship design process to support Human Factors Engineering (HFE). Virtual reality tools have been proposed for various areas of application in ship design, but the literature includes few detailed investigations that provide evidence of efficient implementation. The first version of a VR-HFE design process and revision tool, based on Unity and C# scripting, is presented. The current functionality includes the ability to import design files into the VR environment at full scale in a straightforward and fast way. The tool allows rapid transition from the model space to VR visualisations with minimal additional workload. The applicability of the tool is demonstrated for a ship design revision application of HFE focused compartments.
