SHOCKING: Raspberry pi helps submarine simulator explore for wildlife | Mind Blowing Facts

Tom Scott drives a Raspberry Pi powered submarine simulator

You can find tons of simulation games on the market today, ranging from tractors to goats, but there’s an entirely different side of simulators that is far more immersive. Today we’re sharing with you an extraordinary creation put together by a team known as The Explorandia Association. This team has developed a wonderful submarine simulator that takes you through an actual pond in real time with a bit of help from a Raspberry Pi 3B.

They call the project the Bathysphere, which requires a crew of 3 to 7 people to operate. Members of the crew board a small enclosure designed to resemble a submarine cockpit. YouTuber and tech expert Tom Scott recently took a trip to Italy to check out this submarine simulator in person. They even had the opportunity to take a spin in the captain’s chair—although most of the controls are actually handled by the team sitting behind the captain.
