¿Qué cubre este video?

The crew of Uma uses cardboard templates and virtual reality (VR) modeling to finalize a new interior layout for their boat.0:18 By removing the diesel engine, they gain space to reconfigure the galley into a U-shape, allowing for a more compact footprint while maintaining total volume.1:34 The redesign shifts the companionway corridor to align with the head and the nook, eliminating the previous zigzag path to improve safety in heavy seas.1:51 The crew also plans to remove existing electronics to expand the pilot berth into a larger guest area with dedicated hanging lockers for foul-weather gear.8:26 Further forward, the head moves into the former V-berth closet space, creating a separate shower and toilet area while increasing storage capacity.17:31 The crew uses an Oculus headset to overlay these digital design changes onto the physical hull, allowing them to verify ergonomics and spatial flow before beginning permanent construction.10:42
