Illuminating The Unknown:

Making RMS Titanic’s Digital Twin

One year after Magellan’s public release of this incredible expedition, we shed some light on the making of the RMS

Titanic Digital Twin. Voyis, a provider of underwater imag- ing systems, joined forces with Sonardyne and EIVA to pro- vide sensor systems to Magellan for its survey that captured the ? rst complete Digital Twin of the RMS Titanic wreck site. This effort resulted in an extraordinary scaled digital twin of the entire bow and stern of the wreck, along with the • Nitrogen-free surrounding debris ? eld, enabling researchers and scientists to start to re-explore the vessel with greater levels of detail. • Compact, fully integrated

This 3D model showcases the site as if the ocean had been • Universal power supply drained away, offering a snapshot in time of this iconic his- torical asset before it degrades beyond recognition (Magel- • Patented designs lan Digital Twin). The survey was completely non-intrusive.

The Titanic, resting at a depth of approximately 12,500

Used with: feet in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland,

Canada, has long been a subject of fascination and mystery

Self-sealing Purge Ports since its sinking in 1912. The aim of this project was to shed new light on the circumstances surrounding the sinking and use cutting-edge underwater optical technology to record the current state of this iconic wreck. In summer 2022, Magel- lan was provided with Voyis’ underwater imaging sensors to complement its own systems and conduct the extensive optical survey.

Voyis’ Observer Subsea Cameras and Nova LEDs

Voyis provided its Observer & Nova subsea imaging system in support of this endeavour, with an actively cooled high- dynamic range camera and more than ½ million lumens of ? ash lighting. More than 700,000 images were captured dur- ing the multi-day survey of the region, recording millimetric globaloceandesign.com details of every aspect of the site. At 3,800m below the sea, the Observer Pro delivered clear, accurate images that were [email protected] automatically corrected for both color and lighting.
