Jyotika Virmani, executive director of Schmidt Ocean Institute. “The virtual world that has been created through this collaboration is a remarkable example of how we can use technology to bring science and exploration to the public,” said Dr. We are grateful to the vision of Schmidt Ocean Institute for seeing the value in this resource and moving ahead with this first exhibit.” “The virtual aquarium,” Neill continued, “is applicable to formal and informal education, and is based on principles of Ocean Literacy. It’s a field trip without having to leave the classroom or one’s home.”
“It does not have the physical scale of a real aquarium space, but it’s as wide, deep and dynamic as the ocean itself and costs nothing to enter. “The DEEP SEA Exhibit is a new, transformational tool for understanding how the ocean works,” said Peter Neill, Director of the World Ocean Observatory. The virtual aquarium allows users to explore deep-sea ecosystems that cannot be observed in a traditional aquarium setting, such as hydrothermal vents, whale falls, and interactions with 3D models of newly discovered species.

THE DEEP SEA is an educational, interactive online platform for ocean exploration and discovery, utilizing high-resolution video, models, and descriptive materials of newly discovered deep-sea ocean species and environments observed during science expeditions aboard research vessel Falkor with the underwater robot (ROV) SuBastian.ĭEEP SEA Exhibit was designed using Unity gaming software to bring three-dimensional ocean literacy and marine science education to a worldwide audience of educators, students and individuals interested in the full spectrum of biodiversity and related value provided by the ocean–the largest, most essential natural system on earth.
The World Ocean Observatory (W2O) and Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) announced today the launch of World Ocean Explorer DEEP SEA exhibit, creating a first-of-its kind immersive virtual aquarium showcasing deep-sea discoveries.

This digital representation allows guests to experience extremely large or dangerous aquatic animals without the aquarium needing to build special facilities. Also, users can interact with the animals by feeding them or playing with them. Guests can experience underwater mammals and sharks without the expense or treating animals inhumanely. We’ve also developed a full scale version of this application for aquariums. By experiencing their subject matter, students have a stronger connection to what they’re learning and are more engaged resulting in faster learning and better retention. The application allows users to experience what it’s like to swim with fish, sharks, and dolphins using a google cardboard or similar device. Aquarium VR is an app designed to awaken students’ curiosity for learning and to show case the possibilities of Virtual Reality on mobile phones.ĮON Reality’s belief is that knowledge is a human right and Aquarium VR is one way to help educate the public. In December, our virtual reality aquarium app, Aquarium VR, hit over 150,000 installs on iTunes and ranked as a top 25 education app.
