Canada’s Ocean Supercluster on Thursday announced four new research projects worth $3.5 million, with a special focus on the use of mixed-reality technologies like augmented reality, or AR, and virtual reality.
The Atlantic Canada-based group, which supports innovation, sustainability and equity in Canada’s ocean economy, issued a series of press releases announcing the news. More than half the funding will go to a marine virtual funding project led by groups in Newfoundland and Labrador. The other projects address such tasks as using AR in navigation and fish farm monitoring.
