We were commissioned to develop an interactive application together with
Blue Yetifor the
Aquarium de La Rochelle. It shows a virtual pool on the surface of which visitors can walk and interact with various families of sharks and exotic fishes.
Two projectors and two infra-red cams were used to detect movement of people walking above the virtual water.
The application was installed in the corridor leading to the giant sharks' tank. It is part of a set of new features unveiled at the aquarium for its re-opening in the end of January 2009. The aquarium welcomes about one million visitors each year.
