The Royal Navy is embracing Virtual Reality to train sailors guiding warships on operations worldwide. Shown here is LH Quinn conducting training within the virtual reality training simulator. Nine hi-tech bridge simulators – which accurately recreate both the bridge of present-day warships, but also the key waters and harbours they operate in – have been installed at sites in England and Scotland, led by the Navy’s warfare school at HMS Collingwood in Fareham. The £27m investment in partnership with Team Fisher, (a consortium of partners led by Capita which delivers shore-based training for the Royal Navy) and Metaverse VR, is intended to make learning navigation and running a bridge more realistic, better and potentially faster. Five simulator suites have been installed at HMS Collingwood: two large ‘full mission’ simulators with wrap-around digital display screens and virtual reality headsets, a smaller version with an LCD display and finally two small trainers – more akin to a video gaming set-up, but with the same features/accuracy as their full-size counterparts.
