Between the 27th of September and the 1st of October 2016, a second test has been carried out on the tablet for underwater augmented diving of VISAS. The archaeological site of Cala Minnola, some meters far from the costs of Levanzo Island (Trapani, Sicily), has been choosen for the proof. The site consist of a shipment of wine amphorae belonging to an ancient roman cargo ship (I century b.C.). All the underwater activities have been carried out by researchers of University of Calabria, 3D Research s.r.l. and Applicon s.r.l, in collaboration with the Diving Atmosphere Blu of Levanzo and under the supervision of Soprintendenza del Mare of Regione Sicilia.

Between the 15th and the 18th of September VISAS has tested its underwater tablet system at Punta Scifo D archaeological site. The test has been carried by scuba diving users, in collaboration with the Diving Sub Village of Capo Rizzuto.

The Virtual Dive System of VISAS has been placed into the exhibit and will be available to the public until the end of it, on the 6th of March 2017, thanks to the Multimedia Totem Mneme, developed by the 3D Research srl, partner of the project.
