It can take a while for visitors to identify the species of fish they’re looking at in an aquarium – trying to match them up with information on an information panel can take time and isn’t always straightforward. Now a new aquarium by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) helps by exhibiting marine life information in real time according to visitors’ line of sight.
The AI Aquarium, which recently won a CES Innovation Award from the Consumer Technology Association, uses virtual-real fusion technology to enable gaze tracking and interactive information display of marine life information. According to ITRI, it has an accuracy of 98 per cent, and is also available for gesture control, which can create “intuitive but hygienic interaction for visitors via a contact-free method”.
The AI Aquarium integrates smart display, AI recognition, and human-computer interaction technologies to introduce augmented reality tourism services, said ITRI President Edwin Liu.
“This innovation addresses the needs in the post-pandemic era and the trends of immersive experience,” Liu said. “It has been applied in the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology in Taiwan to enhance marine exploration and education, offering a more interactive and effective option than conventional aquariums.” Besides edutainment, the technology can also be deployed for other purposes such as surgical simulation for medical training.
