The science behind project ariadna

TO INNOVATE, ONE NEEDS TO COMBINE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING WITH IMAGINATION.

[ AN INNOVATIVE IDEA ]

THE GPS SIGNAL DOESN’T PENETRATE DEEPER THAN A FEW MILLIMETERS BELOW THE WATER SURFACE. IT’S USELESS FOR DIVERS.

PROJECT ARIADNA IS BASED ON A HYBRID METHOD: READ THE GPS POSITION ON THE SURFACE, THEN LIVE-TRACK THE LOCATION OF THE DIVER USING MATHEMATICAL ALGORITHMS.

[ THE MATH ]

THE SYSTEM READS DATA FROM 11 INDEPENDENT SENSORS 400 TIMES EVERY SECOND. THEN IT PROCESSES THE INPUT THROUGH A SOPHISTICATED SET OF ALGORITHMS TO PRECISELY CALCULATE THE MOVEMENTS OF THE DIVER.

AS A RESULT, THE DIVER GETS THE EXACT POSITION ON THE MAP, LIVE, AT ANY SECOND OF THE DIVE. PRECISELY AND WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL TRANSMITTERS.

[ THE SIMPLICITY ]

THE ARIADNA NAVIGATION DEVICE WILL BE AS SIMPLE AS ANY DIVE COMPUTER AND EFFORTLESS TO USE EVEN IN A STRESSFUL OR UNEXPECTED SITUATION. SO WHAT THE DIVER SEES ON ARIADNA’S LARGE SCREEN IS SIMPLE: GO STRAIGHT ON, TURN LEFT, TURN RIGHT, YOU ARE HERE. THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST IS 10 METRES AHEAD.

ARIADNA WILL MAKE YOU SEE, EVEN WHEN YOU CAN’T SEE ANYTHING.
