These include a miniature camera providing clearer eyes for remotely controlled vehicles and a chemical-free water purifying process

Innovative companies awarded COMET grants include:

• Deepvision 3D, of Western Australia, has developed a 3D camera for remotely operated vehicles in hazardous environments such as underwater vehicles but can be applied to other tele-operated vehicles, like those in the mining and agricultural sectors. Deepvision’s design and manufacture overcome common problems like flickering images in similar cameras. [Contact: Rohan McDougall 08 9266 3370]
• Viva Blu, of New South Wales, has developed a chemical-free water treatment system which consumes half the power of standard systems significantly reducing costs.
  Science laboratories have used the technology for some time and Viva Blu’s innovative and cost-effective process makes it available for large scale applications. [Contact: Ian Maxwell 02 8090 1760]
• TM Organics, of South Australia, has developed an online tool to help farmers and producers meet organic compliance standards for certification at both the start-up stage and managing annual certification by guiding the producer through compliance requirements.
