We’re thrilled to announce that we have been acquired by @VideoRay. This new adventure will allow us to not only provide a best-in-class operator experience for VideoRay’s existing ocean robotics customers, but also expand our offerings to benefit other unmanned systems.
This is one of my favorite academic papers to date on one of the problems Blue Ring Imaging is solving with our “OctoView” application for unmanned vehicle operators and teams.
Almost 5 years ago we installed a 180 3D camera and VR app on an MBARI ROV to see if stereo depth perception and 1:1 scale enhances teleoperation performance. What did the research say? That task times with both new and experienced ROV operators were decreased by as much as 50%.
My team and I are grateful for the opportunity to have Randy Brandenburg join our advisory team. Randy comes to us with extensive DoD and undersea warfare experience having spent almost 30 years at Raytheon, and will be supporting both our military and Blue Tech growth efforts.
We will be attending the Oceans Conference in Virginia Beach this week. if you’d like to see demos of @blueringimaging situational/battlespace awareness products currently in closed beta with customers please reach out.

Capturing 360 video in the deep sea is the best way to share your experience with others.
This is a custom 500M rated camera we built for a Seamagine submarine back in 2019, with this checkout dive taken off the coast of Italy. #ROVVR

Doing a complete retrofit of a BlueROV2 for a client to include our 180 3D camera, an Oculus multibeam sonar, Wayfinder DVL, surface power, and an Oculus Quest 2 VR HMD. The sensors and add-ons to this vehicle are nearly 10x more than the ROV itself.
Join us at SD&A 2022 to hear Casey Sapp from Blue Ring Imaging. His presentation is titled "Underwater 360 3D cameras: A summary of Hollywood and DoD applications" and will introduce us to a wide range of underwater 3D 360 and 3D 180 cameras.

One fun sci-fi twist was @deepseabe grasping the mammoth tusk using the 3D virtual reality camera system that he helped implement for our submersible. @MBARI_News (Photo @conchoecia)
