Kuroshio Sea
The main tank of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium called the 'Kuroshio Sea' is breath-taking with the world's second largest acrylic glass panel. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank. The appearance is dazzling and the window is so clear that each year millions of visitors can believe, for a moment, that they have stepped into a magical underwater world. And this video by Jon Rawlinson, with music provided by Barcelona, is stunning all on its own. Watch it in HD and zoom out to full screen if you can.

Mediatecture
At BMW, we're the fish in the tank, floating by each other as we gaze at the beautiful cars. We are surrounded by a complete, ever-changing environment created with LED screens behind glass. With three-dimensional moving images, the space is visually expanded, and the exhibited cars are virtually “set in motion”. In the reactive mode, the pattern of illumination changes according to the presence of visitors.
The BMW Museum is a joint project of ART+COM (spatial media design, interactive installations) and Atelier Brückner (architecture, exhibition design).

Even bigger and more interactive is this playful expereince of the Auckland Ferry Building. The installation goes beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall.
There are 3 different types of interaction - body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. There are 6 scenes, cycled every hour for the public.
Some nice inspirations for our next projects.
