Seafood VR

Welcome to UHI Shetland's Seafood Virtual Reality (VR) course. These resources are designed for school pupils aged 12-16 who are interested in learning more about the aquaculture and seafood industry in Scotland.

The course will be split into 5 lessons. Each lessons is expected to take around 1-hour to complete alongside the VR content.

Through the "VR4VET Blue Sector" Meta Quest app developed in collaboration with the IMTEL Lab of NTNU, you will have the opportunity to engage with interactive scenarios which represent typical tasks routinely carried out in workplaces of the aquaculture and fish processing industry.  The supporting resources allow for more in depth exploration of each workplace scenario with additional quizzes, questions, and activities to allow consolidation of the information learned.

You will also have the chance to explore 360 videos related to the fishing industry in Shetland covering pelagic, inshore, shellfish, and the work done by marine scientists at UHI Shetland.
