MARIETTA, Ga., Nov. 10, 2026 — Immersive Display Solutions, Inc. (IDSI) has completed visual system upgrades to two ship bridge simulators at the Calhoon MEBA Engineering School (CMES), enhancing the clarity, consistency and reliability of the school’s maritime training environments.
The upgraded displays provide sharper, more uniform imagery across the simulators’ wraparound screens. Students now have stronger visual references for assessing vessel movement, distance, surrounding traffic and environmental conditions while navigating complex ship handling scenarios.
The visual upgrades create a more immersive and responsive training environment, enabling CMES to present complex ship handling scenarios with greater visual accuracy. Instructors can challenge students with realistic vessel traffic, changing weather, restricted waterways and other conditions that require timely assessment and sound decision-making.
“The upgraded visual systems engineered and installed by Immersive Display Solutions, Inc. have enhanced CMES’s maritime training capabilities. High-resolution 4K laser projectors provide sharper, more detailed visuals during hands-on exercises, improving the quality of training for licensed deck officers. These enhancements support high training standards and allow CMES to conduct realistic assessments in a safe, controlled environment.”
— Bryan Jennings, Executive Director, Calhoon MEBA Engineering School
IDSI designed both upgrades around the simulator infrastructure already in place at CMES. The modernization included new 4K laser projectors, optimized projector placement, automated calibration and system-level integration and testing for both ship bridge simulators.
By modernizing the visual systems instead of replacing the complete simulator platforms, CMES improved training capability while preserving the value of its existing investment. In addition, establishing a common visual-system baseline across both simulators also improves consistency and simplifies long-term operation, maintenance and technical support.
“At IDSI we are incredibly proud to see our technology integrated into the recently upgraded, state-of-the-art ship bridge simulator. In a critical application like maritime simulation where the stakes are incredibly high, the technology must be reliable. We remain deeply committed to engineering solutions that professionals can trust when it matters most.”
— George Forbes, Founder and CEO of IDSI.
The upgraded visual systems give CMES a more capable and consistent platform for conducting realistic ship handling training across both bridge simulators. The enhanced capability supports hands-on instruction and helps prepare mariners to assess changing conditions and make informed decisions during complex vessel operations.
