SplashDisplay
Originally uploaded by ~db~

SplashDisplay is an interactive system in which you toss styrofoam "food" at a "whale" (actually a blue disk of light) swimming in the middle of foam beads. The system is able to detect where the food lands, and creates outward ripples radiating from that spot. If the food lands on the whale, it responds with a happy spout, which is caused by a low frequency speaker below the foam beads.
