MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541110811 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 13, 2025, for 'under water exploration in virtual reality.'
Inventor(s) include Mohammed Kaif K; Dr Rama A; Maninder Singh; and Dr Ramya Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Underwater exploration in virtual reality (VR) represents a revolutionaiy approach to studying and experiencing the vast, uncharted realms of the ocean. This technology bridges the gap between the inaccessibility of deep-sea environments and the growing need for scientific research, conservation, education, and recreation. Traditional, underwater exploration often faces significant challenges, including high costs, complex logistics, safety risks, and limited access to remote or extreme depths. VR mitigates these issues by providing an immersive and interactive simulation of underwater ecosystems, archaeological sites, and geological formations.Leveraging advanced technologies such as 3D modeling, photogrammetry, and real-time simulation, VR enables the creation of highly realistic and detailed representations of underwater environments. Users can interact with marine life, explore coral reefs, navigate shipwrecks, and even observe phenomena like hydrothermal vents, all from the safety of their homes or laboratories. This opens new opportunities for scientific research, allowing marine biologists, archaeologists, and oceanographers to study these environments in detail without disturbing delicate ecosystems.In education, VR serves as a powerful tool to raise awareness about marine biodiversity and the importance of ocean conservation. Students and enthusiasts can gain firsthand experience of underwater life, fostering engagement and understanding. Additionally, VR-driven underwater exploration is being adopted for recreational purposes, offering a thrilling and safe alternative to physical diving experiences.. This fusion of technology and marine science not only democratizes access to the undeiAvater world but also paves the way for innovative research and heightened public interest in preserving our oceans."
