The University of Hull recently showed how a virtual shipwreck tour might look at the BA Festival of Science in Liverpool with the help of a 3D simulator.

The simulator lets the viewer control a virtual submarine that takes them around the shipwrecks. This shows a figure representing the viewer waiting to get into the submarine.
