• Resumen

  • The use of omnidirectional cameras underwater is enabling many new and exciting applications in multiple fields. Among them, it will allow Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROVs) to be piloted directly by means of the images captured by omnidirectional cameras through virtual reality (VR) headsets. This immersive experience will extend the pilot’s spatial awareness and reduce the usual orientation problems during missions. This paper presents this concept and illustrates it with the first experiments for achieving this purpose.
