![]() ![]() Conspecifics were not observed in the three missions, nor were courtship or breeding behaviours. One basking shark was observed defecating. Sharks spent very little time feeding, and travelled relatively close to sandy, rocky and algae-covered benthos. We detail the first successful autonomous tracking of basking sharks, comprising three missions that filmed basking sharks in mid-water and close to benthic habitats. The basking shark is the second largest fish in the world and is endangered globally, but despite being subject to various biologging studies, little is known of this species breeding ecology and their mating grounds remain unknown. In the present study, we use an AUV, the REMUS-100 SharkCam, paired with a custom transponder tag attached to the shark, to autonomously follow three basking sharks for a cumulative total of 10.9 h to collect video and environmental data on their sub-surface behaviour. Some AUVs have been used to film target animals, but are generally limited to periods as long as a drone operator can actively follow an animal. Advances in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs or UAVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (commonly known as drones), which can carry far larger payloads of sensor technologies, have revealed insights into the environment through which animals travel. Google keeps adding stuff, so please check back as I’ll be updating this post.Ĭlick here to follow me on Facebook or Instagram: davidphelantech and Twitter: MORE FROM FORBES Apple iOS 14.Biologging studies have revealed a wealth of information about the spatio-temporal movements of a wide range of vertebrates large enough to carry electronic tracking tags. ![]() However, it’s really the animals that are the most captivating and fun. Google has said that the system, though tremendously entertaining, is also there to educate so there are human anatomical systems, chemistry terms, biology terms, physics terms, cultural objects such as the Apollo 11 command module and Neil Armstrong and cultural heritage sites like the Brandenburg Gate. I need hardly say that the giraffe and hippo, for instance, take up a lot of space. Not quite, there have been more added in just the last few months, including: Beagle, Fennec fox, pig, border collie, German shepherd, pitbull, bulldog, giraffe, ragdoll, cane corso, hamster, red panda, chihuahua, hippo, Siberian husky, coyote, kitten, sphynx cat, dchshund, milk cow, Welsh corgi, Doberman, ox, zebra and donkey. ![]() Google 3D red panda (pumpkin model's own). Placing the animal carefully is good practice, too, so you don’t have the panda floating crazily in mid-air. You can then take a photo or video, with your friends or dogs in the shot. Don’t be scared when the shark gazes at you right in the eye, it won’t hurt you. You can walk around it and the creature will stay in situ, swimming, scratching or looking around. ![]() Remember to stand back, the animal is life-sized. If this is the first time you’ve done this, your phone may ask for permission to use the camera and to record images.Īfter that you may see instructions on screen to help the AR lock on so it can work out where your floor is and put the animal on it, or above it in the case of creatures like the shark. Then there’s the magic bit: you can tap “View the animal in your space”. Tap “View in 3D’ and the browser will switch to the Google app. Next to the words it’ll show that friendly animal swimming gently. When the search results appear, you’ll see somewhere on the page an invitation to “Meet a life-sized great white shark up close” or whatever animal you chose.
