Imagine being able to explore coral reefs remotely in real-time via drones

IN VIRTUAL REALITY

And conducting environmental research as a citizen scientists.

Now you can save coral reefs via a virtual reality gaming platform soon

to be made available at local museums and aquariums.

THE VISION

THE TECHNOLOGY

Low cost DIY OpenROVs drones - modified for stereoscopic vision

Virtual reality via Oculus integrationEnvironmental sensors for research

MAKER CORPS

ARTS is a flagship project for Maker Corps, a nonprofit organization that organizes maker tourism voyages to teach maker skills while supporting social and environmental projects.

We partner with OpenROV and The Hydrous to provide technical training

EACH MAKER CORPS VOYAGE

Allows ARTS to establish community partnerships and pilot projects around the world.

● Donates $10K of hardware● Generates $15K in revenue

- for research initiatives- improving ARTS design- quality testing & assurance - training local partners

Build drones. Save corals!

BUSINESS MODEL

● Installation fee for partnering with aquariums and museums. Higher commercial rate for installations on cruise ships and resorts.

● Set up your own Oculus home stations for $650 and get a year of free access to content.

COMMERCIAL VALUE PROPOSITION

ARTS has the following benefits:

● Lower acquisition and operation cost (compare $40K daily cost of Nautilus Live expeditions)

● Safer than manned submersibles● Potential for permanent

installation and autonomous navigation protocols

● Availability of increasingly low cost and micronized sensors

● Leverages the value of a human pilot and computer vision

Established ROV companies have started sponsoring Maker Corps voyages in the hopes of increasing and democratizing access to corals.

Empowering individuals to fight the effects of climate change on ocean ecosystems. And growing a volunteer community of trained engineers.

All we need is a passionate audience.So we are partnering with aquariums.

Cal Academy of Sciences

At 25 feet deep and 212,000-gallons, the Philippine Coral Reef exhibit is one of the deepest & largest displays of living coral in the world. Under the surface, thousands of fish mingle with eels, anemones, starfish, and coral, creating some of the most dramatic views available without diving.

Now imagine viewing life inside the tanks in Virtual Reality?

ENGAGE AUDIENCES

ARTS is pursuing a partnership with Cal Academy of Sciences staff to create a permanent installation that will engage members at the museum and remotely from home.

● Oculus stations on site for 3-5 members to experience● Within virtual model users can learn about the ROV

and unlock relevant educational content about the reef● Create a constant stream of social media content

- images, video, etc - for members to share● Re-engage Cal Academy members from home

# use hashtags to target content relevant to interests

In the future ARTS stations installed will connect to coral reefs around the world, allowing individuals to participate in environmental monitoring, research and restoration of reefs powered by the curiosity to know more about the oceans.
