In: 2013 10th IEEE international conference on networking, sensing and control (ICNSC). Bellarbi A, Domingues C, Otmane S, Benbelkacem S, Dinis A (2013) Augmented reality for underwater activities with the use of the DOLPHYN. A following discussion derives general recommendations for implementing similar methods that use tilting to interact with devices under water. Results clearly demonstrate the benefit of this technique and suggest more effective configurations.

Three different titling configurations of keyboards were implemented and evaluated on land and in a swimming pool in a user study that involved 17 healthy volunteers and assessed their performance in two different conditions reflecting two typical diving poses.

The concept is utilizing orientation sensors allowing for tilting a smartphone to input textual information. This paper presents a novel way of providing textual input in underwater environments. In particular, interaction with them cannot harness a touch screen medium. Smartphones and tablets have the potential to provide great assistance for divers under water and even allow them to utilize augmented and mixed reality, but the housing solutions limit their capabilities.

Underwater environments are still providing significant challenges for diver communication and interaction.
