See-LEVEL secrets - in 2020 we were collecting vessel movement data to really work out whats triggers seasickness.

In the early years of our journey at See-LEVEL, we developed a bespoke hardware system known as the SLDC (See-LEVEL Data Collector) to gather critical vessel data. This custom instrument measured the heave, yaw, and roll of vessels, then injected these movements into our VR headsets. By experimenting with this applied motion, we sought to help users acclimate to their vessel's movement, tackling seasickness in an entirely new way.

The SLDC project was a pioneering achievement, making See-LEVEL the first to modify a VR environment based on external 3DOF (degrees of freedom) movement and alter VR behavior accordingly. Our efforts attracted significant interest from Canterbury University, who recognized the potential of this innovative approach.

Until now, we've been working quietly on this groundbreaking science, and we're excited to finally reveal our research after our Patent application was accepted. The SLDC features a custom web interface, allowing us to control and adjust the amount of movement users experience inside the VR environment. This personalized exposure marks another world-first achievement, reinforcing See-LEVEL's position as a leader in immersive technology for seasickness treatment.
