Catching Jellies in Immersive Virtual Reality: A Comparative Teleoperation Study of ROVs in ...
summary
A VR telepresence control room built in the Unity game engine streams stereo camera feeds to HMDs (HTC Vive/Oculus compatible) and 3D overlays for ROV pose and headings, tested in MBARI’s test tank with N=12 participants comparing Stereoscopic-VR, Monoscopic-VR, and Desktop teleoperation. Results show Stereoscopic-VR doubles capture efficacy versus Desktop, increases presence and usability, reduces perceived effort, and yields only mild cybersickness (Monoscopic higher); study uses 3D-printed and mock specimens and reports real performance gains under controlled conditions.
