Fishualization 2008! Tomorrow!
Fish "painting" in real time via live video camera and image processing
When the IMD Class of 2007 was in its second year, the students made a group project for the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach called Fishualization. The idea was to have visitors and fish "collaborate" on making visuals. A camera caught the fish swimming while visitors interacted with menu options using DDR-style foot switches. The resulting imagery was projected next to the fish tank. Fishualization was installed during the Aquarium's Ocean Tech Day and was a hit, particularly with young visitors.
Class of 2007 grad Doo-Yul (Doox) Park, the principle designer of the Fishualization software, will be installing "Fishualization 2008" for this year's Ocean Tech Day, Saturday March 8, tomorrow. We're all pleased and proud that Doox has continued with this innovative and lively experience. Check it out!

Thank you for posting this. Fishualization worked better than last time. It was a good chance for me to see if I can actually spare out of a full-time job for my personal work. I tried to spare about one hour in the morning before going to work since I realized that I become too exhausted to do anything after work. This eventually made me a good habit to do something out of work every morning. Thank you for your support, professor Michael Naimark. I've been trying hard to find ways to start my own research and this has been a really great start.
