Abstract :
This field experiment used a telepresence-controlled, remotely operated underwater vehicle to study sea-floor ecology in Antarctica. In using environmental data to create the virtual reality model in near real-time, this experiment represents the first combined use of telepresence and virtual reality for scientific purposes
