Sažetak
The continuous emergence of digital technologies and the strong trend of digitization in numerous segments of human activity imposes the need to devote additional attention to better adaptation of the educational process. The special focus is on improving competencies of the new generation of employees through the modernization of educational methods. This article contributes to the wider debate of bigger involvement of virtual reality (VR) as modern pedagogical tool in student engineering education. VR as computer-generated environment allows its users better understanding of real or imaginary scenarios, processes and interaction like one in real conditions. Numerous research on the application of VR for educational purposes is devoted mainly to the detection of the final effects on the mental or physical performance of the examinee. However, insufficient attention is paid to the basic precondition for the successful application of VR technology in teaching, namely the way of its use and the credibility of the replicated content. Therefore, the article explains in more detail the process of creating realistic VR models for managing container terminal equipment designed using equipment technical data provided by Adriatic Gate Container Terminal in Rijeka, the strategically most important and largest seaport in the Republic of Croatia. In the end, potential directions of future research with the developed VR model among different interest groups and interviewees are listed.
