VR Shark Research App
Digital research toolAn interactive prototype for the collection of morphometric data
My friends at The Dyer Island Conservation Trust had responded to reports of a deceased great white shark. Local residents had interupted individuals who were in the process of decapitating the animal.
I’d demonstrated photogrammetry previously and because the results were so strong they were keen to do the same, allowing a 3D record of the animal to be saved.
When we finished the reconstruction, my colleages at Staffordshire University (Tom Vine and Richard Harper) and I built a very basic suite of tools that would allow its investigation.
We also incorporated an additional reconstruction created from a smooth hound shark, earlier in the year.
