Finnish to English: Excerpt from a news article on engineering and IT used for ship building ‒ UK English General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: IT (Information Technology)
Source text - Finnish Keinotodellisuutta kehitetään laivanrakentajien avuksi
Keinotodellisuutta hyödyntävän tutkimushankkeen tavoitteena on korvata paperipiirustukset ja kannettavat tietokoneet mobiilisovelluksella ja virtuaalisilmälaseilla, joilla voidaan lisätä käyttäjän näkemään ympäristöön siitä vielä puuttuvia kohteita.
Turun yliopiston BID Innovaatiot- ja yrityskehitys -keskus on käynnistänyt kaksivuotisen MARIN-tutkimushankkeen, jonka tavoitteena on kehittää apuvälineitä meriteollisuuden käyttöön.
Käyttäjä näkee puuttuvat kohteet virtuaalilaseilla
Keskeisenä ajatuksena on korvata työmaaolosuhteissa hankalat paperipiirustukset ja kannettavat tietokoneet mobiilisovelluksella ja virtuaalisilmälaseilla, joilla voidaan lisätä käyttäjän näkemään ympäristöön siitä vielä puuttuvia kohteita.
Laitteilla voi nähdä esimerkiksi, mitä putkistoja tai kalusteita vielä rakenteilla olevaan tilaan on tarkoitus asentaa, tai tarkistaa, että tilan asennukset pitävät yhtä suunnitelmien kanssa. Tällä teknologialla tavoitellaan kustannussäästöjä työvaiheiden nopeutumisen ja virheiden vähenemisen kautta.
MARIN-hanke tutkii lisättyä todellisuutta (augmented reality), eli sovelluksia, joissa näkökenttään lisätään virtuaalisia kohteita käyttäjän nähtäväksi.
Sovellusalueena on laivanrakennus ja muu meriteollisuus. 3D-mallinnus kuuluu laivanrakennukseen olennaisena osana jo nyt. Pyrkimyksenä on käyttää näitä malleja hyväksi vielä konkreettisemmin tuomalla ne näkyviin rakennettavan tilan sisään.
Samankaltaista tekniikkaa voidaan hyödyntää muillakin alueilla. Kun esimerkiksi korjausrakentamisessa seinän takana kulkevien putkien ja johtojen paikat voidaan nähdä keinotekoisesti, niihin ei porata vahingossa.
Lisättyä todellisuutta voidaan käyttää myös esimerkiksi helpottamaan kaupunkiympäristössä navigointia tai antamaan museossa kävijöille tietoa näyttelyjen esineistä. Myös peliteollisuus on merkittävä sovellusalue.
Vuoden 2014 toukokuun loppuun kestävän projektin tavoitteena on kehittää prototyyppilaitteisto, jolla voidaan arvioida teknologian käyttökelpoisuutta ja ratkaisujen käytettävyyttä telakkaympäristössä.
Translation - English Virtual reality in development to aid ship builders
Virtual reality is being utilised in a research project that aims to replace laptops and technical drawings on paper with a mobile application and virtual reality glasses which can be used to add missing objects into the user's environment.
The Business and Innovation Development (BID) unit at the Finnish University of Turku has initiated a two-year research project called MARIN, which aims to develop tools that can help the maritime industry.
Virtual reality glasses help in visualising missing objects
The main idea is to replace impractical paper drawings and laptops with a mobile application and virtual reality glasses at the working site. The advanced technology can be used to insert missing parts and objects into the environment the user is watching.
The devices help in visualising, for example, what kind of pipework or equipment is planned for installation into a space that is still under construction. The devices can also be used for checking that the installations in a space correspond to the plans. This technology provides a means for gaining cost savings through faster working phases and fewer errors.
Augmented reality applied to industry applications, museums, games...
The MARIN project is researching augmented reality, which refers to applications where virtual objects are added to the user's field of vision.
The range of application involves ship building and other areas of the maritime industry. Three-dimensional modelling is already an essential part of ship building. The goal is to utilise the 3D models even further by inserting them inside a space that is being built and making them visible.
Similar technology can be used in other areas as well, such as reconstruction. When the location of pipes and cables can be seen artificially, they can be avoided during drilling.
Augmented reality can also be used to ease navigating in an urban environment or to provide information to museum visitors on exhibition items. The games industry is another significant area of application.
Before its end at the end of May 2014, the project aims to develop a prototype that can be used for evaluating the usability of the technology and its solutions in a shipyard environment.

I am a Finnish native speaker living currently in Loviisa, Finland. I hold a Master's degree from the former University of Joensuu, Finland (nowadays a part of the University of Eastern Finland).
I majored in English translation and studied Swedish translation, IT for translators, as well as culture and communication as minor subjects.
I am also a member of the Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters (SKTL). I appreciate all client relationships that include good communication and reliable payment, and I am willing to make a test translation if required. At the moment, I am open to propositions for new client relationships.
