This article in Wired describes the iQuarium project at MIT, which will install large-screen displays on the walls and floor of the Infinite Corridor, a one-sixth-mile-long hallway that is MIT's "spinal cord". The iQuarium's virtual fish will contiguously move from one display to the next, creating the illusion that visitors are inside the tank. The iQuarium will use much more sophisticated algorithms for modelling fish propulsion. Sensors on the corridor's ceiling and walls will pick up visitor movements, and the fish will respond by either approaching the "glass" of the tank or darting away. Visitors will also be able to control the fish behavior and aquatic conditions.
