Scubus S is one
of the few projects that brings hi-tech into the world of scuba diving. The
biggest problem of all for scuba divers is surely underwater communication
which is limited to hand sign language and in order to communicate you must be
in a constant visual contact. Imagine a scuba diver signalling that he’s out of
breath. How do you think can he afford and wait until the fellow diver will
pick on that? Or imagine full spectrum of underwater beauty that the diver is
constantly want to share, the moments and… “Oops! Just missed it!” All thanks
to scuba diver waiting on his fellow scuba diver to react again. Now this is
where technology and augmented reality shines and can truly change the
experience and empower people underwater.
The Scubus S steps
in with its pre-typed messaging and chat option. Unfortunately the Bluetooth,
radio waves or any type of wireless tech doesn’t work that good or doesn’t work
at all underwater. For scubus S to work underwater the company is using what
the submarines used as means of communication for decades – the acoustic wave
which turns out travels underwater even better than on the surface. But it has
its limitations too. Nonetheless you’ll be equipped with up to 20 pre-typed
messages. You’ll manage group chat and other data of the Scubus S via a
wrist-worn remote. To compensate for not being able to chat like on a messenger
app the Scubus S will have an HD camera with 12MP photo and 1080p @ 30 fps
video as well as LED flashlight.
