Candice’s interview with Ian took a deep dive in the world of dive and snorkel site 3D modelling and how it is changing the way we explore the underwater world.
The feature reveals some of the techniques used in Reef Smart Guides’ photogrammetric 3D modeling process, and how augmented reality and virtual reality can provide an immersive diving and snorkeling experience even for those who prefer to remain above the surface.
Together Candice and Ian collected 3D modeling data on the Kittiwake, Doc Poulson and some of the features of the Sunset House Reef, including the Nicholson wreck and the mermaid statue, known as Amphitrite.
