Sure, it’s fun to steer vehicles in a game, but did you know you can use Xbox controllers to pilot underwater rovers in real life? To understand how marine ecosystems respond to disturbances like climate change, the Seattle Aquarium uses submersible Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to take high-resolution underwater photographs. Scientists use Xbox controllers to pilot the ROVs, navigating the ocean to uncover valuable data. Equipped with cameras, lights, sensors, and sonar, the ROVs can capture imagery across larger areas than scientific divers are able to operate. By using Xbox controllers to operate the ROV, the Aquarium is not only making research more fun and accessible to future generations of marine conservationists, but also demonstrating the power of technology for environmental conservation and education. Through education and outreach events with a variety of local organizations, the Aquarium hopes this program will inspire more people to appreciate and protect the kelp forests and the marine life they support.
