Software simulates undersea jobs

Marine Simulation of the ROVsim Undersea Pilot: Volume One is able to simulate mission variables from changing currents and visibility to electronics and gear failures.

Marine Simulation has released Volume One of the ROVsim Undersea Pilot series.

The Undersea Pilot series is a collection of physics accurate, visually realistic and highly configurable remotely operated vehicle (ROV) simulators intended for ROV and marine professionals and based on Marine Simulation's ROVsim simulator.

By implementing the very latest technologies for real-time 3D visualisation, it is able to simulate a wide range of mission variables: from changing currents and visibility, to electronics and gear failures.

Each volume in the series comes pre-configured with one popular commercial ROV and a selection of pre-built, realistic missions.

Each volume in the series will include a selection from their most asked for missions including tunnel/pipe/tank inspection, marine biology research and sampling, human remains/crime scene investigation and recovery, ship's hull inspection, harbour security and marine archaeological research and recovery.

Manufacturers whose products are represented in the series include: SeaBotix, VideoRay, SeaEye and Deep Ocean.

The ROVsim Undersea Pilot series also includes a custom mission designer which allows the user to build their own mission environments from either the selection of included models or import models from a variety of sources, providing a nearly unlimited number of missions for the user to explore.

ROVsim is designed to operate on low-cost personal computers as well as "off the shelf" components and is available for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista operating systems.

A free demo version is available for download from Marine Simulation's website.
