Shark

A 4K projection on a shark model offers interactive exploration with flashlights. In standby, the shark swims naturally, accompanied by facts. Using a flashlight reveals internal organs or the skeleton; the view shifts every two minutes. Key spots trigger detailed captions, turning the display into a mix of science and spectacle.

Deep-Sea Path

A 30-meter corridor projects the ocean floor, filled with virtual fish. In standby, it shows a calm seascape with small fish and the shadows of larger ones. When active, cameras track visitors and guide them with arrows formed of glowing fish, occasionally revealing big marine silhouettes. If visitors stop, the shoal forms an arrow pointing the way. Mascots Happy the Cat and Xiang Yang sometimes appear to join the scene.

Ecosystem

Visitors can explore the food chain of an aquarium. They can also add new creatures to the digital biome — choose a species, set its color, and release it into the environment. The new creatures interact in real time, expanding the virtual ecosystem.

Ice Rink

A central projection reveals an under-ice world as visitors glide across the rink. Silhouettes of fish and whales move beneath the surface. In standby, the rink shows a frozen seascape. When active, it splits into three marine zones, each reacting to guest movements with glowing plankton projections.

Futuristic Profession

A physical robot recognizes guests and reveals personalized profiles. In standby, it roams the area subtly. When active, it runs two modes — scanning and identification — showing guest photos, professional details, and general data. At times, an alarm screen adds intrigue by flagging errors through playful UI prompts.
