Abstract
In this validation exploration, we have studied a virtual reality ship command bridge against the standards and regulations that maritime training simulators must adhere to. We created a virtual reality replica of a command bridge with limited functionality that underwent user testing with 16 experienced ship officers. The results show that our training application did not meet all simulator criteria, but we point out that each of the shortcomings can be overcome with new generation hardware and expanded virtual reality programming. Our conclusion is that VR is a valid, affordable and efficient tool for command bridge simulator training.
