Marine Industry Showcase
A Waxeye case study
MAST approached Waxeye to craft a virtual reality experience to help attract and engage prospective learners, giving them an authentic glimpse into life working in the marine sector as well as the learning pathways to take them there.
The MAST Academy was established to be a centre of excellence for marine, composite and specialised training, working with learners and employers to ensure a steady supply of skilled and knowledgeable workers for the Marine Sector. We created a unique experience that combined simulated content, such as placing the student beneath the waves surrounded by sea life, to filmed 360 footage of actual workplaces and interviews with MAST apprentices.
To allow for the varying needs of students, we designed an experience framework that allows multiple pathways into the content. One where users embark on a comprehensive industry tour and another where students navigate their own way through the experience. This modular approach also future proofs the experience making it easy for MAST to add more content as new courses and pathways become available.
