When officers and crew first report for duty on a ship, they are unfamiliar with the ship's layout and the locations of the various offices and spaces they will encounter in their normal, day-to-day activities. Through an inefficient, time-consuming process that may span several months, they learn the locations of areas important to them by asking directions, following others, or sometimes just trial and error. This report describes the initial prototype development of a new method of familiarizing one's self with a ship by using a multimodal, immersive, virtual environment. This tool combines virtual reality, speech recognition, natural language processing, route planning, and speech synthesis to create an automated stand-alone, self-paced system that sailors can use as a wayfinding aid to help them rapidly develop good familiarity with the ship's spaces.
