I don’t know if they have 3-d capabilities. But they have much better sensors than what we see. We are seeing a reduced-bandwidth visual feed. They also have heat and infrared, and a much higher quality video.

I'd like to think that, but I viewed a piece of vid taken in the control room of the primary recovery ship, and as they looked over the shoulder of one of the operators and his joy sticks, I discovered to my surprise that he was looking at the same vid picture that I was seeing. He had other views from a second camera and views from a second bot, but other than the ability to zoom in, I did not see anything different.

I don't doubt the infrared capability, but you really can't see a lot of detail with that to help with anything they were doing at the time.

I saw a lot of higher tech stuff in regard to the attachments, but I felt the video was lacking and a bit behind the curve.

The Skandi bots have the best video but they were being used for monitoring and dispersant's. Their vid was high definition and also had computer enhancements or filters. But, the enhanced vid is not what the eye would see and makes the picture look a bit distorted and the colors and texture are way off.
