The ocean is dynamic and full of interconnected data that can be difficult to string into a single picture of the area of study. However, in 2023, we were tasked to create a low cost- small stereo enclosure that will monitor fish assemblages around windfarms to paint a picture of the environment beneath. This system presents high-quality LED lights that illuminate the view for two custom built cameras' connected to a raspberry system. Compounded on this, the system incorporates audio, to correlate fisheries measurements, taken from the cameras with ambient sound to assess how wind farms might be influencing the...

This adaptor, designed for the Canon 5.2mm Dual-Fisheye VR Adaptor, empowers both recreational and professional cinematographers to fully utilize 180-degree 3D video capture underwater. Developed in partnership with Meta and in collaboration with JBH Productions & Gates Underwater Housings, it seamlessly integrates with Gates' Deep Weapon Housing and Red Digital Cinema V-Raptor Cameras (DSMC, DSMC2, and DSMC3 (Raptor)). The Red RF mount platform enables 16K capture at 120 FPS (17:9) or 150 FPS (2.4:1), and the lens modifications retains up to 153 degrees FOV, ensuring top-notch immersive experiences.

Creating a suitable enclosure is only half of our assignment on projects like this one we developed external controls that allow a diver to operate a Tascam DR-100 MKIII stereo audio recorder under water. This project was completed for Cetacean Research Technologies Cetacean Research Technology - Underwater and Bioacoustics Instrumentation and Consultation 

Titanium housings are beautiful and super strong, this design is rated for 19,685ft of sea water. These units have been mounted to submarines and AUVs as they document the most extreme depths of the ocean. With a 3-inch inner bore and a modular tray system these units allow researchers around the world to adapt to new projects with new cameras, configure them in stereo, or mount small lasers. 

An Acetal housing developed for the University of Georgia to hold a digital inclinometer (goniometer).  The final instrument was used to precisely position and level oceanographic equipment installed underwater.  Other uses for an underwater inclinometer include construction projects, inspection services, and archaeology.
