A '''hyper reality probe''' is a mobile undersea instrument capable of precise control, allowing a human to control its operation and appendages. Its silhouette is that of a four-legged domestic creature, akin to a canine or feline. It is often used when [[W.S.K.R.S.]] are insufficient.

At its spheroid head are various lenses , optimized for undersea visual acuity at the expense of above surface visualization {{Ep|Treasure of the Mind}}. The probe's digits are capable of tactile movement of obstacles and handling of loose objects for retrieval {{Ep|To Be or Not to Be}}.

A hyper reality probe was integrated into ''[[seaQuest DSV 4600]]''<nowiki/>'s scientific package. The engineering station of ''seaQuest''<nowiki/>'s [[bridge]], where the operator dons a specific set of head and eye wear, in addition to a pair of control gloves with a spheroid ball under each palm {{Ep|To Be or Not to Be}}.

The probe has lights to aid in sight; in one case, the light from the probe is used to attract a [[level 10 biologic]] and lead it away from ''seaQuest'' {{Ep|Treasures of the Tonga Trench}}.

* The hyper reality probe technology is seen only in season one. It is not seen in use aboard ''[[seaQuest DSV 4600-II]]'' in the subsequent two seasons.
