GlobalSim VR Systems featured in Port Technology Magazine

Over the last several months GlobalSim has received dozens of inquiries and a considerable amount of exposure relating to our new Virtual Reality Simulators. Recently Port Technology Magazine ran an article featuring GlobalSim titled “Virtual Reality – The Next Evolution In Operation Training.” This article (written in Question/Answer) features our company president, Jonathan McCurdy. It is an excellent introduction to virtual reality simulation and features valuable insight, including the Pros and Cons of Virtual Reality in a training environment. In the article, Jonathan McCurdy, President of GlobalSim states, “As a long-time player in the simulation industry, we at GlobalSim have evaluated numerous VR technologies over the years. We never felt the technology was ready to provide effective simulation training at a cost that could be accepted in the Port and Maritime industry. Over the last year, we finally saw advances in the technology that changed everything. We felt like the technology finally came to the point where we could create cost effective, high fidelity VR training systems.” The article can be accessed by visiting the Port Technology Magazine website.To download and read a PDF version of the article, click here.
