The brief here was to design an interactive 3D aquarium that would present a calming, ever changing, engaging play thing to short and long-term hospital visitors.
The aquarium has varied fish types and all of these respond differently to user touch, including a puffer fish which inflates when he is poked!
An infra-red overmount is used over two large edge to edge portrait monitors to present a ‘window into a virtual underwater world.’
The aquarium has been featured on television programmes about the new children’s wing of the new hospital which is curated by Yorkhill Children’s Charity and is a fantastic and modern space.
The application can be deployed on any arrangement of touchscreens
This interactive software is available for purchase as is or it can also be customised. It is ideal for use in child-focused visitor spaces. Please contact enquiries@boundary.io for more information
