Delivery of 2 Types of MR Content for the Korea Maritime Transportation Safety Authority (KOMSA)
Mixed Reality Maritime Safety Education for Both Fishery Workers and Children
| PROJECT | Delivery of MR (Mixed Reality) Content |
PROJECT GOAL
| As maritime activities increase annually, the Korea Maritime Transportation Safety Authority (KOMSA) is promoting maritime safety culture policies and projects to improve public awareness and prevent accidents. SAMWOO IMMERSION supports the expansion of an educational environment where the public can easily and directly experience maritime safety by developing hand-tracking-based MR content for workers and children as part of the 2026 Mobile Maritime Safety Experience Facility Construction and Operation Project. |

 | “It felt as tense as a real accident on a ship.
It was helpful to learn how to react through physical experience!” |
| “The anchor rope operation scene reminded me of a real work site. I didn't feel the danger before, but seeing how an accident occurs directly made me clearly understand why safety rules must be followed.” |  |
 | “The structure and quality are satisfying as they capture essential safety training in a short time without losing focus. From an operator's perspective, it's meaningful that kids can learn the importance of life jackets easily and fun.” |
“I used to think safety training was boring,
but I could stay focused thanks to the interactive content.” |  |
| Reviews from participants who experienced the 2 types of MR/VR maritime safety training content. |
Overview
KOMSA Emergency Escape and Rope Impact Accident MR Content
The training consists of two experiential scenarios designed around core situations: ship emergency response and fishing vessel operation safety management. This MR-based experiential training helps users understand the process and causes of accidents through realistic environments and naturally learn correct procedures and safety rules. The version for workers is designed to help them understand and practice safety obligations under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act and safety conduct standards for sailors. The children's version uses mission-based interactions and escape scenarios to teach IMO symbols and life jacket usage in an engaging way. This immersive education using MR/VR technology goes beyond theory to provide practical experience for real-world response.
Development of an MR-Based Experiential Safety Training System
New Safety Training for Both Maritime Workers and Children
KOMSA operates a maritime safety education portal and promotes safety policies to prevent accidents as maritime activities increase. In 2026, they are expanding the educational environment through the Mobile Maritime Safety Experience Facility project, allowing the public to experience safety training more easily and directly.
As part of this policy, MR/VR safety content has been built to simulate real ship environments. Starting in an MR (Mixed Reality) environment where a virtual ship appears in the real world, it transitions into a VR environment mimicking a ship's interior. Participants can directly experience and learn action plans and equipment usage necessary during a ship accident.
Furthermore, it is based on real accident cases, such as rope recoil accidents during anchor operations. This helps workers understand the importance of safety rules and correct procedures through experience. Through this, participants can naturally acquire safety response capabilities that go beyond simple theory.
| Rope Impact Accident MR | HMD(Meta Quest3), Tablet, Motion Chair |
| Emergency Escape MR | HMD(Meta Quest3) |
A tablet version is provided alongside HMD and motion chair setups, allowing users to play in everyday environments without specialized hardware equipment.
This MR-based content project is a prime example of expanding maritime safety education into more realistic and participatory methods. It is meaningful in creating an environment where both the public and maritime workers can feel and practice the importance of safety. We expect this digital experiential content to be an effective tool for spreading maritime safety culture and preventing accidents.
Introduction of Content Types
Worker Content for Disaster Prevention Laws and Safety
Children's Content for IMO Symbol Learning and Ship Emergency Escape
Experiential MR/VR Content Educating Ship Workers on Safety Laws and Disaster Prevention
In fishing vessels, impact accidents caused by rope recoil frequently occur due to high tension and heavy equipment during anchor rope operations. Specifically, accidents resulting in serious injury have occurred when safety rules were ignored, such as lack of safety zones, not wearing protective gear, or improper instructions from the captain.
Through MR-based content, users experience the process and cause of accidents in environments similar to real work sites. It is designed to help users learn correct procedures and follow safety standards under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act and the Fishery Safety and Management Act.
Starting in an MR environment where a virtual fishing boat appears in the real world, this training supports Korean, English, Indonesian, and Vietnamese. Participants observe the deck and bridge from various angles, experience rope tension accidents in a VR sea environment, and learn prevention methods by wearing life jackets and helmets. The scenario ends with a quiz to verify the learning outcomes.

Ship Emergency Escape Training: Children's Experiential MR/VR Content
This experiential safety training content is designed to enhance the safety response capabilities of passengers and maritime workers in preparation for emergency situations that may occur on ships.
Starting in an MR environment with a virtual ferry, it transitions to a VR environment similar to a real ship interior, allowing users to learn action protocols and safety equipment usage through immersive simulation.
This ship emergency escape content starts in MR and supports 4 languages. Participants experience a ship tilting in an emergency, search for IMO safety symbols, and check life jackets, muster stations, and life rafts. They then perform evacuation steps like sliding down escape chutes and boarding rafts. The scenario concludes with an MR quiz to reinforce key safety knowledge.

Specialized Technologies and Features
1. Immersive Education via MR-VR Transition
Designed with a structure that starts in MR, enters a VR environment, and finishes back in MR to provide a natural mixed reality experience. The step-by-step transition in the MR passthrough environment minimizes VR motion sickness and allows users to naturally immerse themselves in the simulation.
2. Control System Integration & Evaluation Data Extraction
The HMD devices are linked to an instructor system on a laptop for power and content control. Evaluation data is automatically saved as CSV files for future reporting. Data includes date, time, experience duration, and correct answers to organize participant results.
3. Multi-Device Compatibility
Developed for both Meta Quest 3 HMDs and tablets. This allows participation in environments without HMD hardware, providing an intuitive UX/UI optimized for tablet interaction.
4. Multilingual Training Content
Supports 4 languages: Korean, English, Indonesian, and Vietnamese, ensuring diverse trainees can easily understand the content. This provides a valuable experience for foreign sailors and multicultural families, removing language barriers in safety training.
5. High-Quality 3D Work Environments
Real fishing vessel environments and equipment are implemented in high-resolution 3D graphics for an immersive experience. Elements like ropes, rollers, and deck structures are realistically portrayed. For ferries, cabins, deck structures, and safety equipment like life rafts are factually rendered to provide life-like immersion.
