AKWATYX launches the OceanConnected project, which uses an interactive console called Dolphyn to allow users to stream and share live underwater videos from snorkeling and scuba diving. The console provides augmented reality information about points of interest and local wildlife. A dedicated web platform geo-locates points of interest for the console and allows internet users to view live underwater video streams. The goal is to use digital technologies to bring ocean discovery and exploration to more people.

- 1. Ocean Connected AKWATYX launches the OceanConnected project, based on the first subaquatic smart object, the Dolphyn interactive console and its dedicated collaborative web platform. Our mission: bring ocean discovery and exploration to all through digital technologies and create the Internet of the Seas! SNORKELING: Our solution allows users to stream and share their live underwater videos, with their family who stayed onboard the boat, on the beach or with their friends connected to our web platform. Users can also experience Augmented Reality enhanced underwater trails. Snorkelers, equipped with a console can have access to local information describing Points of Interest and the local sea life that have been previously geo-positioned on the dedicated web platform by nearby diving clubs. Geo-caching games and participative science missions can be organized to transform the sea into an interactive and edutaining playground. SCUBA DIVING: professional divers, equipped with a console, connected to a surface communications buoy, can share their underwater exploration with people stayed on board or with Internet users connected to our dedicated platform for live video streaming. A dive centre can therefore reach thousands of people throughout the world and stay connected with their community; marine biologists can organize underwater videoconferences with schools, with Internet users¡ Ocean Connected: Service operation at sea
- 2. Interactive and connected underwater consoles The Akwatyx patented consoles DOLPHYN? are the first mobile aquatic interactive devices. It integrates a 10,1 inch tablet PC, a Wi-Fi/LTE antenna, a GPS, a HD webcam, joysticks as well as other types of sensors. Aquatic and digital environments are merged and therefore, constitute a unique immersive universe offering new opportunities to discover and explorer the oceans in an interactive, connected and fun way. Dedicated collaborative web platform The AKWATYX web platform has been developed in order to geo-localize the different points of interests that the console users might encounter while snorkeling or diving. The related information will ¡°pop- up¡± in Augmented Reality on the console¡¯s screen as soon as the user will enter into a specific area. He will have some synthetic information about the POI and will be advised to observe the nearby environment in order to find the spot or local species of fishes. Once encountered, the user can take a picture or film and share it on the Internet if the console is connected. The platform is also the access point for Internet users that wish to view LIVE underwater streaming videos.
