Fish Hotel
Fish Hotel is an augmented reality experience for mobile devices and an interactive multimedia projection. Fish Hotel uses location data to visualize actual coral reef quality data as a 3d animated water world. As a user launches the app on any mobile device, an immersive 360-degree underwater world envelops them. The AR environment is inhabited by all kinds of fish at different levels of the food chain as well as aquatic organisms including shrimp, algae, and anemones. Together, these creatures form a scintillating and interdependent ecosystem.
This immersive augmented reality environment responds to the health of the nearest coral reef through key indicators provided by an API that triangulates the device location and finds the closest reef to the device. These data indicators also include overfishing data, water temperature, and water depth. As multiple factors affect the reef, the resulting ecological imbalance is reflected in the application.
