2. Description of the Related Art As a facility for observing marine organisms such as fish,
Aquariums are generally known. The aquarium is for academically introducing the classification of fish, and it has a style in which large fish tanks are filled with seawater and stored according to the type of fish. In addition, some beach leisure facilities have an observation room on the bottom of the sea where you can observe the ecology of fish from the underwater window of the observation room.

However, the aquarium and beach leisure facilities described above are facilities for simply observing the ecology of fish by introducing the classification of fish, and therefore fish swimming in a large box-shaped aquarium. You can only get the feeling of seeing. Therefore, the main enjoyment of the spectators is limited to seeing rare creatures and their ecology such as how to swim. In order to realize the mystery of the sea, there was no choice but to actually go to the sea, do scuba diving, or observe underwater using a submersible.

In the above facility for exploring the seabed, since the screen on the inner wall of the large aquarium is obscured by the backlight, the spectators do not feel that it is a large aquarium, and they can experience the wide spread of the seabed. In addition, the perspective of pseudo-rocks is produced by the intensity of light from the lighting device, and these visual effects can fantastically produce an infinitely realistic seabed landscape. Furthermore, because the air blown from the blower creates waves on the water surface, it is possible to blind the equipment and the like placed above the large water tank.
This wave can create a fantastic undersea world.
