Realistic ROV Simulator Launched
01 Dec 2006
Hawaii based Marine Simulation LLC has released ROVsim, an affordable, physics accurate, and visually realistic Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) simulator. Using state of the art technologies originally developed for the video game industry and over two decades of hands-on industry experience, ROVsim™ is optimized to simulate a wide range of mission variables: from changing currents and visibility, tether and collision problems, to electronics and gear failures.
Potential simulated missions include port and harbour security, hull inspections, dam and bridge inspections, deep water drilling and cable work, law enforcement / evidence recovery, scientific data collection, tunnel / pipeline inspections, marine archaeology and underwater rescue.
ROVsim is designed to operate on low cost personal computers as well as off the shelf components and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X operating systems. A free demo version is available for download from Marine Simulation LLC's website http://www.marinesimulation.com
