KNUD E. HANSEN Software
ShipSpace
Virtual reality collaboration platform that turns 3D CAD ship models into an immersive environment for design review, construction and training.
Description
ShipSpace is a virtual reality (VR) collaboration platform for ship design and shipbuilding, introduced by KNUD E. HANSEN in 2017. It exports 3D CAD models into an immersive, first-person environment so designers, engineers, owners and shipyards can walk through a vessel before it is built, share ideas and resolve issues. Users in different locations can meet in the same virtual model.
Key features
- Measurement tool: inspect dimensions with a virtual tape measure.
- Paintbrush: mark up the model with notes and corrections.
- Mannequin: check space requirements and accessibility.
- Camera: take snapshots of mark-ups, errors or corrections.
- Layers: switch structure, HVAC, electrical and machinery on and off.
- X-ray to see through walls, and a transporter tool to jump between locations.
- Options: a metadata tool for attaching material and product information to objects, and videoconferencing streamed live from the VR headset.
Applications
Concept and detail design reviews, tendering, class approval support, production planning, sales presentations and crew training ("Know your ship").
