The OpenScience Laboratory

A VR opportunity to experience a series of dives in a submersible at key locations around the world. The dives are designed to provide students with 3D interactive visualisations of the complex ocean and how ocean processes vary across the planet. When integrated with exercises around scientific observations or critical real-world problems such as ocean acidification (e.g. as part of Open University module S309 Earth Processes), it will provide students with an opportunity to gather observations from a submersible and experience practical ocean science.
