IMXR® Safety Experience VR Content – Typhoon Disaster Response

The Importance of Pre‑Typhoon Procedures in Smart Port Operations –

Safety Management VR Content for Learning

IMXR® Safety Experience VR Content

Assuming a typhoon is approaching a smart port, this VR content allows users to learn the importance of pre‑operation procedures and equipment‑specific safety response methods in a 3D-modeled smart port terminal.

Following a 10-step scenario, users directly perform real disaster response procedures such as container block leveling and securing lashings. Through various interactions—touch, teleport, push/pull, move, two‑handed control—the experience is immersive and engaging, giving a realistic disaster response training experience.

Typhoon Damage · Human Casualties · Port Losses · Limits of Theoretical Training

When a typhoon impacts a real port, strong winds can cause containers to fall or equipment to topple, resulting in severe casualties and billions in economic losses. This can lead to prolonged paralysis of port operations.

Historical typhoon incidents have once again highlighted the importance of disaster response systems and safety training at ports. However, until now, safety education has primarily been theory-based, which makes instant response in real emergencies difficult. Knowing something intellectually does not translate to physical readiness.



SOLUTION :

IMXR Smart Port Typhoon Disaster Response VR content is designed from this awareness level, allowing participants to experience typhoon disasters in a simulated environment and learn through repetition. The core goal is to build practical capabilities enabling port workers to respond effectively in crisis situations.

Smart Port Typhoon Disaster VR Content Composition

After explaining the importance of pre-typhoon procedures, the VR content guides users through each step of action according to a safety checklist. The training is structured around a 10-step procedure where you physically operate machinery and equipment. In the final stage, you inspect container packaging to confirm a damage-free port outcome, allowing participants to feel the tangible success of safety management along with immersive satisfaction.

IMXR® Smart Port Typhoon Disaster VR Specialized Technology

 


01. Implementation of Smart Port

 The main port area of Busan New Port's fully automated smart container terminal (1,400,000㎡) is recreated in a realistic environment. Samwoo Immersion used Unreal Engine 5 and photo‑realistic CG to replicate the real port with no polygon or detail constraints.


02. Optimization Technology by Samwoo

Optimization Element
Description
Polygon
Implements LOD (Level of Detail) techniques to selectively load high‑res and low‑res models based on distance and viewpoint, maximizing graphics performance optimization.
Lighting
Uses HDRI and lightmap techniques to reduce real‑time lighting calculation load, enabling realistic reflections and refractions for immersive visual experience.
Texture
Applies PBR materials for realistic surface textures and uses texture compression to minimize memory use, balancing high‑quality visuals with system resources.

 
Advanced optimization across polygons, lighting, and textures allows seamless VR execution of the complex smart port environment. Leveraging Samwoo Immersion’s tech, the VR content delivers port‑level fidelity and immersion.


03. Procedure‑Based Framework Development 

Using Samwoo’s standard XR framework (IMBuilder‑B), the entire process—from procedures to education, training, and response—is standardized. User‑centric UI/UX design within XR allows easy quiz modification, enabling future scalability and adaptability.



 04. Instructor Control Integration
 

Installed within a VR Station Cabin, synced with control computers and electronic desks. Instructors can monitor individual or group progress in real time, control power, manage content operation, and oversee the experience. 



IMXR® Smart Port Typhoon Disaster Response VR Features

01. Real News Example Presentation

Through VR, typhoon sound effects and visual scenes of toppling cranes and falling containers are paired with actual news reports detailing real damage cases—heightening realism and emphasizing disaster severity.
