The project started as a relatively small UI design project, but four years later we had purchased and tested a bunch of high-end cameras, capture cards, server systems, joysticks and everything in between. Hundreds of experiments were performed with, among other things, latency testing through 2km fiber cable, the interface was user tested and polished again and again and all the “stupid” and wondering questions to the engineers ended with us developing the offshore industry’s first 100% digital recording device – The OctoSpan . The UI part and the ROV were presented at the international offshore fair Oceanology International in London 2016.
The UI was presented at the Oceanology International 2016. Below a few screens from that presentation

The (we need to use the 3d rov model some more) version
I really loved some of the visuals and experiments we did in this version, but in the end there was just too much going on
