Software
Laura uses software, quite similar to that of Orbit software, with the exception of being able to move in three dimensions. The ability to move in three dimensions makes the program more complicated to master then that of the orbit software. The software gives the user all the data that they would need to pilot a submarine such as fathmometer, temperature, and sonar. Using its information, the user is able to locate objects underwater and pilot Laura towards it to take a sample. Using either a top down two dimensional map, or a side view three dimensional grid, the user is able to see where they are in relation to the environment.
