Application of virtual reality as an alternative training media as complement of ship bridge simulator (case study: port of tanjung emas semarang)

Abstract The application of computer technology such as 3D modeling, simulators, virtual reality, and augmented will always provide benefits to the maritime sector. object study used in this research is physical bridge simulator at Poltekpel Surabaya which a using reality. Through reality technology, it can be developed into an educational facility for cadets there does not only rely on 2D or forms but where users interact directly application. With simulator, save terms manufacturing costs usage becomes more effective practical. In user participate environment that simulated like real environment. learn how operate ship captain without having visit ship’s directly. Simulators with learning accessed easily anywhere anytime. Based results cadet assessment test questionnaire consisting 7 questions 30 respondents, concluded VR Bridge Simulator very good category because easy understand by respondents from are same those calculations have total value 908 between 840 1050, 87% percentage calculation.
