Explore the Titanic

An 8-passenger ride simulator is tied in with a large aquarium tank that holds a 6-foot model of the wreck of the Titanic. Eight visitors ride in the simulator, while one visitor pilots a robotic video submersible in the tank, over/around the wreck. The simulator is keyed in real time to the movements of the mini-sub, so the riders see what the sub sees and move as the sub moves, so it looks like they are exploring the real Titanic. Dampers in the software prevent the sub ‘pilot’ from making wild, radical moves, jerking the riders around too much.

	This is a great one. sounds like something you would find in the science center. Posted 5 months ago by Joshds808
	I like this idea too. You could consider having the pilot in-sub and operate with only a video feed so they are part of the experience as well, but this may make navigation overly difficult without another view. Posted 4 months ago by astyler
