MARIN Maritime eXperience Lab (MXLab)

Maritime experience lab

For advanced Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality applications, including the Fast Small Ship Simulator (FSSS), smaller motion platforms, treadmills, motion capturing and a cable robot. With the 8 cables of the cable robot moving objects (such as a crane hook) can be simulated above a moving platform or the FSSS for advanced interactive Mixed Reality simulations, both above and below water.

The Maritime eXperience Lab (MX Lab) is aso dedicated to extending MARIN's simulation capabilities through eXtended Reality (XR) technology. Virtual reality (VR) stands out as a potent tool for immersive experiences, capable of eliciting psychological and operational responses closely mirroring real-life scenarios. Using VR alongside traditional simulators enables mixed simulations, enhancing MARIN's flexibility in evaluating operations.
