Oceans 2.0 – Web Control of Undersea High Definition
Video Camera

This project is a part of the University of Victoria and Neptune Canada Oceans 2.0 project funded by Canarie Inc. The goal of this project is to provide online live full resolution high definition video from the seafloor and facilitate interactive remote control of the camera using web services software. The expected result is that scientists will be able to control their own view of the undersea environment from wherever they are. Further information is available on the project description page.

The project is well underway and the camera is expected to be deployed in its test location on the VENUS Saanich Inlet node in the early spring of 2009.
