Telepresence
Telepresence are a group of technologies that allow people to observe and interact with events at a remote location.
How is it changing the way ocean exploration is done?
Telepresence has advanced broadband satellite communication. It is capable of transmitting live images to classrooms, labs, and newsrooms from the sea floor. This would help increase the amount of time scientific expertise can be brought to the exploration team as soon as discoveries are made. This kind of interaction depends upon high-bandwidth satellite communications. This Means that large amount of can be transmitted from the ship in a short span of time. Not only are videos and images available to other locations but voice communication can also be sent as well. This allows each participant to write their own personal observations to a common log. The telepresence has created a way for researchers to have faster, better, and more accurate access to their research!
