title = "JackVR: A virtual reality training system for landing oil rigs",
abstract = "We propose JackVR, an interactive immersive simulation prototype aiming to train domain experts to land jackup oil rigs. Jackup rigs are among the most common offshore drilling units for extracting oil, but the process of landing the rigs is mostly challenging because of the unpredictable sea and weather conditions, lack of clear vision, and the possible risk of damaging the ocean floor. We designed JackVR to support oil engineers and technicians by allowing them to practice landing the oil rig within a safe and semi-realistic training environment. Furthermore, the design explores various superimposed spatial indicators that provide visual warnings on unexpected task conditions. The implemented prototype supports two modes for training, and utilizes the ray-casting interaction technique to enable seamless and direct control of the rig....",
