Roger Arquer has a unique taste of Fish Bowl. He has 15 different fish bowl’s designs, all irregular. Each of them examines a topic or suggests a solution to an in issue. For example, the “Dear Neighbour” is about delicate relationship with our close neighbours. Other example, “XS or XL?”, lets the fish choose whether he wants a small or a big bowl.

Playing fishing game is a good method to train your concentration. But if you don’t REALLY like that kind of game, you’d get bored soon for sure. So sometime, a nice 3rd party add-on like this “Wii Fishing Pole” is required. Specially designed for fishing games (that’s obvious) — such as Rapala Tournament Fishing — this attachment comes with a hand strap and a small plastic fish. The pole can also be extended from 50cm to 100cm. Not bad.

Nintendo Wii Fishing Pole is currently retailed for just $13.

Working in conjunction with Ideo and clariant the challenge for this project was to develop applications for new plastic technologies based on future trends and conditions. My technology was water and based on the future trend of upscaling and indulgence. I thought who better to bestow this precious element on but our pets. This fishbowl takes advantage of some of the natural phenomena of water such as reflection, refraction and freezing.

At least this one is still making sense for me.

Anyway, eventhough I really love aquarium (with fishes), I think I’d pass this Fish Tank. Designed by Sangmin Bae, it is equipped with a video capture device, flow sensor, and monitor output. The video capture and flow sensor will detect the fishes’ movement inside the tank and measuring currents caused by the fishes’ swimming patterns to create the necessary input data. It will then processed to create audio and video output.

Bae said, “Even if the fish can’t speak and express its feelings in a human way, it has an energy and communication skill in its own way. Vibration is the medium of interaction, and I chose it for its universality in the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms.“.

Well, I already feel happy and comfortable with the fishes. I just don’t want to ruin that with the confusion of seeing (and tring to understand) the graphical output on the monitor in this Fish Tank.

Why?
When the tank is cleaned the fish are removed and placed in a small amount of the tank water. The problem is that fish don’t like rapid temperature fluctuations. I guess a simple in tank or stick on thermometer would have done the trick but what is the fun in that? If the unit just did temperature monitoring it would have been such a waste of processor capability, so I thought adding colored lighting would be a great addition.

Overview:

• Uses 16 high power LED’s, 4 red, 4 green, 4 white and 4 blue.
• The tube that the LED’s are mounted in is a section of 3/4 inch PVC conduit.
• LCD Display to display the mode the unit is in and show the temperature.
• Liquid sealed temperature to read the water temperature.
• One button to change between modes.
• Photocell to turn off the lights when there is adequate room light. This is wired and calibrated but this function has been remove to allow the lights to remain on all the time.
