Virtual Oceans description

The Virtual Oceans VR app will provide users with a unique, innovative opportunity to experience a series of dives at key locations in the world’s oceans in a submersible. The dives are designed to provide students with 3D interactive visualisations of the complex ocean and how ocean processes vary across the planet. When integrated with exercises around scientific observations or critical real-world problems such as ocean acidification (e.g. as part of Open University module S309), it will provide students with an opportunity to gather observations from a submersible and experience practical ocean science
