And the project continues!Greetings enthusiasts! 
It has been far too long since a proper update was given. We had an excellent period of operation for our prototype in the York River in VA and at Standing Rush, on the south shore of the Sandusky Bay. 
I would like to take this time to re-post an article that Standing Rush published last May.

Spring may be historically stubborn to yield new green growth in the marsh, but May's warm temps certainly got the bulrushes going (as evidenced by this dense stand of soft-stem emerging from the Rest Pond) -- photo taken 5/5

About This Project

Can immersive telepresence systems more effectively educate inland and coastal communities about the hydrosphere?

Tethys Oceanix LLC - Volunteer Exploration Program

We propose a new paradigm in how the hydrosphere is taught by using a novel immersive telepresence system tailored for students and citizen scientists. This system enables remote monitoring and control of equipment between an inland waterway and a coastal region. We believe that science education will change to embrace immersive learning and foster continued student engagement. We will prove this system in collaboration with Toledo Public Schools, OH, to measure the overall effectiveness.
