With the help of new 3-D technology, you can go underwater and swim with farmed salmon. Or fly down a ski jump. Or study how brain cells work. This technology originally came out of the gaming world, but is rapidly being developed into an important research tool.
The project developing the simulator is being undertaken in collaboration with Måsøval salmon farms in Frøya, Sør-Trøndelag, on the central Norwegian coast.
“This technology might help create interest in aquaculture in the younger generation,” said Ekaterina Prasolova-Førland at NTNU’s Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology Management…
