Blue tech, defense, and government
Rhode Island’s ocean economy runs on shipyards, undersea technology, offshore wind, and the Navy. We build simulations for that work: ROV missions, marine welding, shipboard systems, and the emergency procedures crews need to know cold.
For defense contractors, shipyards, ocean technology companies, government agencies, and marine training programs.
In the headset: ROV inspection missions
Training today
You can’t take a new hire inside a hull section, onto a turbine, or to the seafloor for a practice run.
Shipyards and ocean tech companies need more trained workers than local programs produce, and many students have never seen the work.
Emergency and equipment procedures need to be practiced the same way every time, and documented.
With VR practice
Hulls, turbines, and the seafloor become places a new hire can walk through on day one.
The same simulations run as career exploration, so the pipeline sees what the jobs are.
Every run follows the same procedure and leaves a record for your training files.
Module library
Each module follows the work in order and is adapted to your procedures before anyone uses it.

Trades, technicians, new hires
Practice procedures and spaces that are hard to access during construction or maintenance.
ROV pilots, technicians, field crews
Rehearse missions and maintenance before going offshore.
Agencies, workforce boards, schools
Train public employees on procedures and show students the careers the region is hiring for.
A scenario, step by step
A pilot is sent to inspect a mooring chain at 40 meters in reduced visibility and a crosscurrent.
Check the vehicle, tether, and lights, and confirm the mission plan with the supervisor.
Hold position against the current while following the line down.
Find and document wear or damage at each point on the checklist.
Bring the vehicle back safely and report what was found.
Afterward: The supervisor sees the pre-dive checks, how well the pilot held position, what was documented, and what was missed.
Analytics and reports
Every action, decision, and word in a module is captured, analyzed against your standard, and reported in the Bubbler Hub. Supervisors see it at five levels.
Watch what the learner sees in the headset from a laptop or tablet, with the current task, step, and progress. The video stream isn’t stored; the session record is.
Every step taken or missed, in order and timed, plus the decisions the learner made and what they said.
Every attempt for each person, so you can see what improved and what still needs another run.
Completion across the group, the steps most people miss, and who needs another attempt or a conversation.
Dated completion reports for each person, as PDF or data files, for training files, audits, and accreditation.

Questions
ROV missions, marine welding, a shipboard auxiliary cooling system, offshore wind, and sailing are available as experiences or Sim Lab activities today. Custom work is scoped around your procedures.
Tell us the procedure, the vehicle, or the space. We’ll scope a simulation and the records you need from it.
