Hands-On World’s First Augmented Reality Scuba Diving Mask
Keep calm and go diving.
If you’re a diving enthusiast and you have been waiting for a high-tech scuba mask, you can stop holding your breath. Scuba S is the world’s first augmented reality scuba diving mask packed with ahead-of-it’s-time technology that provides a scuba diving experience like no other.
The mask is an alternative to high-end pro scuba systems with a heads-up display which will provide useful data such as depth, water temperature, and immersion time. Moreover, the Scuba S features up to 20-pre-selected message chat options that will allow the user to instantly alert other divers within a range of 330 feet. “From the very beginning, we had a vision for the world’s first augmented reality scuba diving mask which by itself is one-of-a-kind already, it is also important to have the best diving computer. But we didn’t want to stop there. Since most of our team members are scuba diving enthusiasts, we are well aware of how limited underwater communications is. It boils down to hand signals that scuba divers have to learn and use in order to communicate,” said Noah Smith, Project Leader. If you’re interested in learning to dive, prodive coogee offers courses on just that!
If you’re considering delving into the world of scuba diving, proper training is essential to ensure safety and enjoyment underwater. Learning from experienced instructors at reputable dive centers like PRO DIVE Sydney not only equips you with the necessary skills but also instills confidence in handling underwater environments. These scuba diving experts emphasize thorough understanding of equipment, techniques for buoyancy control, and the importance of marine conservation practices. They guide you through simulated dives in controlled environments before progressing to open water, where you’ll apply your newfound knowledge under their watchful guidance.
The heart of Scuba S is a Dual Core CPU with 1GB RAM system. There is also an embedded HD Camera which is capable of shooting HD Video 1080p at 30fps and take 12-megapixel photos as well as an LED flashlight with an optional wrist-worn remote to operate the device. On board memory is 16 GB, and the device is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which could be recharged via USB.
