Generating Ocean Empathy with Virtual Diving at DEMA 2022

Blue Horizon Solutions, in partnership with 501(c)3 non-profit The Hydrous, is bringing experiential ocean science learning to DEMA 2022. 

Virtual scuba experiences can intrigue future divers, increase demand for Continuing Education, generate ocean empathy,

On Tuesday, Nov 1 from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM, join a dive in virtual reality, an emerging technology that can intrigue future divers, increase demand for Continuing Education, generate ocean empathy, and promote commitment to ocean advocacy. Look for the session called “Blue Horizon Solutions & The Hydrous Present: A Virtual Reality Dive Experience” in Room number S310E.  

Endorsed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), The Hydrous is leading a program called the Decade of Ocean Empathy, which seeks to create “an inspiring and engaging ocean” in line with Ocean Decade outcome #7. One of the tools they use is extended reality (XR) technology like virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), which has the potential to generate presence, agency, and empathy in immersive virtual ocean environments.
