Virtual Vessel
Helpful visual tool for accurate surveying and efficient vessel maintenance
Virtual Vessel creates photographic digital twins
Details matter
Virtual Vessel creates photo realistic virtual tours of vessels.
The Virtual Vessels are shot and build by hand and therefore offer high precision and a lot of custom options. Climbing funnels, go below and behind machines, capture every technical detail, shoot inside junction boxes and switchboards, Almost everything is possible. Depending on the needs the density of the Virtual Vessel can be increased or decreased so when needed every frame of a vessel can become remotely accessible.
All the tours build can be hosted on our servers or delivered to the client so they can host the Virtual Vessel on their own secured intranet.
