DHI Eyes On Habitat VR Training
Eyes on Habitat: Coral Reefs is a unique training tool that features the coral reefs at Sisters’ Islands Marine Park, in an interactive VR underwater simulation. It enhances the training of marine biologists and reefs monitoring volunteers, as they learn methods in the assessment and monitoring of coral reefs, orientate themselves on monitoring protocols and practice their identification skills in a virtual setting before they embark on actual dives. Unlike in an underwater scenario, with Eyes on Habitat, instructors are able to virtually and verbally guide trainees through coral reef monitoring skills and trainee responses can be tallied in real-time using Hiverlab’s proprietary multi-user immersive presentation and communication system Storyhive. During the ‘dive’, they will be guided to identify the various marine organisms along the reef and input their responses using their VR headsets. The initiative was featured by mainstream media, such as The Straits Times, Channel News Asia and Underwater 360.
Testimonials
Huge thanks to the team for working on this. It was really a pleasure working with you. You guys are one of the best vendors I've worked with - the amount of initiative and quality of ideas that come out from the team was really amazing. Not forgetting your speedy turnaround time! So thank you all!

I have worked very successfully with Hiverlab over the past few years on a heritage project based in Cyprus. Hiverlab is the perfect partner for scholars such as myself who are 'content-rich' but less well-versed in the innovative technologies and media to make the work truly impactful on both popular and pedagogical platforms. I will certainly continue to work with them. They are VERY highly recommended!

The advantage of this Storyhive VR programme is that it allows the trainers to communicate with a relatively large class and for the students to interact with one another, which is very difficult in a real-life dive situation. In this particular context, we can train a large number of people, not necessarily just employees, at the same time, yet maintain a level of interaction in instruction that cannot be achieved underwater. The demonstration of the VR prototype has been positive.
