Live-streaming from BlueROV2

We were so incredibly excited to send video LIVE from a BlueROV2 underwater in Sydney (Pittwater and Manly) to Sydney’s Westmead Hospital and The Queensland’s Children’s Hospital Starlight Express Rooms for the Starlight Children’s Foundation Australia. It was AWESOME to bring such a unique and exciting collaborative experience to children who couldn’t otherwise go snorkel or explore themselves.

Huge thanks to Andy Bell for both organizing our connection to the Starlight Express Rooms and piloting the BlueROV2 in Manly!
