Sea Grant Advisory Council Visit

April 21st, the lab played host to the Sea Grant Advisory Council
along with Dean Targett for a visit to the lab to discuss AUV
technology.
Thanks to Val for coming down with the vehicle and helping to set up
and help with the event. We had a lot of interest and really great
questions from the attendees.
Highlights included the Dean using the go plug to start up the AUV.

DORA in Google (Earth) Oceans

I seem to have forgotten to post about this before but with the advice help of some friends (thanks Kurt) and the team at Hafmynd we have managed to bring a model of DORA into a Collada model format into Google Earth (now with Oceans!). This opens up a whole realm of mission playback, planning, and even real-time simulations.

Right now the model is just in a solid UD blue color but soon we hope to add more true to life coloring.

Stay tuned for more.
