(Updated 15.01.2021 – complete re-edit of chapter; updated concept map) The Digital Data Processing of the station will be of major importance. Beside the conventional functions of the IT systems we should use the opportunity to establish a completely new approach concerning the User Interface (UI) and the system’s interaction with the aquanauts.
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
Several years ago Benjamin proposed a system of sensors inside the habitat measuring all necessary parameters like oxygen, carbon dioxide etc. and communicating among each other. Last days we talked about it again and found out, that it would still be a good solution. So we decided to publish it here again. Below you find the original thread, translated from German: Continue reading “Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)”
Augmented Reality Underwater
How helpful would it be to have Augmented Reality underwater in a closed environment like an Undersea Station? NASA experimented with Augmented Reality (AR) or Mixed Reality (MR) by using Microsofts HoloLens at the Aquarius Reef Base off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, in late July/August 2015. Potential astronauts used the device for tasks like checking emergency breathing equipment. Therefore they were going through a series of steps ranging from turning valves to finding and plugging in equipment, and setting up equipment to support an undersea robot.
