Essential Knots on a Fishing Boat


#8 of #DEXR100 is about getting to know your basic boating knots

Use the embedded 3D viewer below to try it out yourself.

Description

Learn the most important sailor knots used on a fishing boat, understand their functions, and recognize where they’re applied in both maritime and daily life. 

Learning Goals

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

  • Recognize at least 3 common maritime knots
  • Understand their use onboard a fishing boat
  • Link each knot to a real-world use-case

How to use in the classroom

  • This lesson works well as a fun way to introduce VR in general, as an immersive display.
  • The intended age range is middle school to adult learners.

How it's made - behind the scenes

We decorated the scene with library assets such as our Character Brian.The platform includes an extensive collection of 3D models that you can use directly. With our Blender add-on, you can also push assets into the Dexr platform and iterate quickly, with instant updates enabled through real-time libraries and asset streaming. Next we added the desired plants specifically for this lesson.

Inside the web-based, no-code editor, we built the lesson flow with Events & Actions (for example guiding the learner to pick the right tool, highlighting safety steps, and triggering animations). We layered in TTS narration from a 3D guide, added push guidance panels for clarity, and embedded quick knowledge checks at each stage. Like all Dexr lessons, it runs fully in the browser with no installs required, making it classroom-ready and easy to track learner progress through our LEAP learning framework.
