In July of this year, Samwoo Immersion received a growth-sharing investment from the Small and Medium Business Corporation for the development of VR educational content, and it is known that based on this, it started developing related solutions.

According to the Korea Creative Content Agency, the global VR market is growing at an average annual rate of 35.6% or more. In addition, interest in the VR-related market is growing amid various issues such as the untact trend due to COVID-19 and the improvement of worker safety.

These LNG ships require many crew members. Samwoo Immersion plans to help them to receive LNG shipboarding training efficiently through LNG vessel VR contents.

Daehee Kim, CEO of Samwoo Immersion, said, “Samwoo Immersion specializes in developing VR contents for job training in the marine and industrial fields. The development of VR contents and specialized simulators for LNG ships is the first in the world.”
