创新背景

船舶设计需要考虑众多零件和架构问题，并大量阅读设计报告和查阅工程资料，整个设计高度要求精细准确，有足够的风险预估。但过程不免有些抽象且枯燥，耗费心神，利用新方式进行船舶设计，可以促进船舶工程运行效率。

创新过程

2021年年底，加拿大北温哥华造船公司Seaspan在船舶设计中引入3D沉浸式虚拟现实系统（VR），将新兴技术与船舶设计结合在一起，使设计师利用VR实时浏览观察他们的设计，提高设计形象力和运行零件问题调整效率。VR在船舶设计中的应用，是船舶设计的新方式，为未来船舶工程开拓了新的发展方向。

VR系统是一个名为HoloShip的“活动墙”平台，集合了剧院和投影仪系统，屏幕背后配有系统计算机硬件。船舶设计人员戴上3D眼镜，就可沉浸在同一个3D环境中，场外合作伙伴也可远程参与。这为设计师测试组件装配提供了形象的可视化观测场景，能够在钢材切割前成型组件之前，对特定功能的组件运行和装配效果有更详细的了解和预见性地观察评估，减少错误和返工，节省人力、时间和精力。船舶建成后，该平台还可用于指导培训、维修和维护工作。

在造船业中使用VR在提高制造效率的同时也为设计人员的工作减轻压力，以有趣形象的虚拟场景代替枯燥紧张的查阅资料，提高工作活力。同时，船舶制造还要考虑海洋问题，海洋气候环境是船舶设计的必备考虑条件。

3D沉浸式虚拟现实系统为船舶设计提供海洋状况模拟，最大程度地把任何船舶行驶可能遇到的情况呈现在设计人员面前，保证设计人员能全面考虑环境变化带来的海洋问题，在设计中不断提高安全性和舒适性保障。利用VR对船舶设计的整个过程进行预估和事后维修，将为造船业提供高效的设计制造方案，促进船舶和海洋工程发展。

创新关键点

创造性地将VR与船舶设计相结合，交叉造船业和虚拟现实技术应用，提高设计过程效率并减少错误，促进船舶设计行业发展。

Leverage VR to innovate the model of ship design

At the end of 2021, Seaspan, a shipbuilding company in North Vancouver, Canada, introduced a 3D immersive virtual reality system (VR) in ship design, combining emerging technologies with ship design, enabling designers to use VR to browse and observe their designs in real time and improve the design image. Force and running part issues adjust efficiency. The application of VR in ship design is a new way of ship design, which opens up a new development direction for future ship engineering.
The VR system is a "living wall" platform called HoloShip that combines a theater and projector system with system computer hardware behind the screen. Wearing 3D glasses, the ship designer can be immersed in the same 3D environment, and off-site partners can also participate remotely. This provides designers with a visual and visual observation scene for testing component assembly. Before forming components before steel cutting, they can have a more detailed understanding and predictive observation and evaluation of component operation and assembly effects for specific functions, reducing errors and rework. Save manpower, time and effort. Once the vessel is built, the platform can also be used to guide training, repair and maintenance work.
The use of VR in the shipbuilding industry not only improves the manufacturing efficiency, but also reduces the work pressure of designers. It replaces the boring and stressful information review with interesting virtual scenes and improves work vitality. At the same time, shipbuilding also needs to consider marine issues, and the marine climate environment is an essential consideration for ship design.
The 3D immersive virtual reality system provides simulation of ocean conditions for ship design, and presents to the designers the conditions that any ship may encounter while driving to the greatest extent. Improve safety and comfort assurance. Using VR to predict and maintain the entire ship design process will provide efficient design and manufacturing solutions for the shipbuilding industry and promote the development of ships and marine engineering.
