Realtime Undersea Modeling and Immersion
Jonathan Fiely (OET) and Jason Fahy (URI)
Overview
This project will make use of and transform data collected through OET’s new Widefield Camera Array (WCA) into 2 new media experiences designed to inspire curiosity in people not reached by our current content on more traditional platforms like YouTube. These virtual reality experiences will be ‘games’ that allow users to explore true-to-life 3d environments captured at our most engaging exploration sites, and form the basis of our push to innovate how OECI, URI and NOAA OER can engage the public with dynamic, cutting-edge & exciting new media.
