Oceanography: iOCEAN Interactive

In this iPad® application, users enter into a simulated oceanography resource area that includes an interactive globe, a bookshelf, and an outdoor exploratory area. The outdoor exploratory area allows users to fish for different types of marine animals to examine their individual information, and allows users to manipulate a virtual salinity meter, as well as rotate and focus on a variety of virtual organisms through touch or a mouse and keyboard.
