Dynamic Earth worked with the company Marine Simulation to develop a video-game simulator which allows people to experience what it is like to ‘fly’ an underwater robot as an ATLAS scientist. You can see what one of the missions looks like by visiting the link below. It will take you to a 3D model of a scene from the hydrothermal vents mission. If you have a 360 viewer you can use this too!
