Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[00011

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is an underwater walking experience where a large aquarium is installed in a building with an amusement facility in the background, and the user can step into the large aquarium wearing everyday clothes and casually experience a walk under the sea. Regarding facilities,
In particular, a lighting system was installed in the aquarium to create a mysterious atmosphere on the ocean floor. [0002] [0002] Conventional aquariums display various types of fish in large aquariums, and are a type of aquarium that academically introduces the classification of fish. In addition, some beach leisure facilities have observation decks on the ocean floor, which allow you to see the real life of fish on the ocean floor. [0003]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The above-mentioned facilities such as aquariums and observation decks installed on the seabed are simply facilities for introducing the classification of fish and observing the ecology of fish. It was not possible to easily experience the excitement and wonder of the undersea world with one's whole body by placing oneself in the sea, such as the mystery and the ecology of the fish that unfolds in the underwater world. In addition, it is difficult to see various types of fish at seaside leisure facilities, and the installation locations are limited, which is essentially different from large aquariums installed at amusement facilities in downtown areas. [0004] The present invention has a more entertainment character in which you can enter the lower part of a large aquarium in your everyday clothes and casually experience a walk under the sea, and is unprecedented as an unexperienced resort with an amusement facility in the background. The aim is to provide an underwater walking experience facility based on a completely new concept. [0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention creates a tunnel at the bottom of a large aquarium using a transparent plate through which people can pass, so that the interior of the large aquarium can be seen from inside the tunnel. In addition, multiple lighting lights equipped with dimmers are placed below the large aquarium, and multiple lighting lights equipped with dimmers and filters of various colors are installed above the water surface of the large tank. Deploy. The dimmers for the lights below and above the large tank can be controlled by computer. [0006] In addition, a plurality of lighting lights placed above a large aquarium may be configured into two sets, one for partial lighting and one for general environment lighting, or an acoustic device may be provided in the tunnel, and the above-mentioned dimming may be performed using a computer. It can also be controlled in accordance with the control of the device. [0007]

[Operation] In the underwater walking experience facility mentioned above, the lighting lights installed below the large aquarium serve as indirect lighting that illuminates the tank from the bottom, and the multiple lighting lights installed above the large aquarium change to various colors through filters. By doing so, it is possible to have many different dimming patterns. Furthermore, by controlling the light control device with a computer, it is possible to control the overall brightness and darkness within the large aquarium, as well as the color, and the combination of these can create a sense of perspective, depth, and scene description. [0008] Therefore, it is possible to create a world of shimmering light under the sea, or it is possible to make the sea of light change over time during the day, and it is possible to make the underwater world appear more mysterious. Furthermore, by creating sound effects using a sound system to match the lighting inside the tunnel, it is possible to give those viewing the large aquarium from inside the tunnel an even greater feeling of being on the ocean floor. [0009]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The large water tank 1 is installed in a building with an amusement facility in the downtown area as a background. Inside the large aquarium 1, rocks, corals, and seaweed are arranged, and various kinds of fish are placed in the tank.A tunnel 2 made of a transparent plate is provided at the center bottom of the large aquarium 1. You can now see. [00101 Illumination lights 4 are provided at a plurality of locations on the lower side of the bottom wall of the large aquarium 1 with transparent plates 3 interposed therebetween. Each illumination light 4 is equipped with a dimmer 4a and is controlled by a computer 5 to indirectly illuminate the interior of the large aquarium 1. Further, above the large aquarium 1, there are provided a plurality of lighting lights 6 for partial illumination for illuminating corals and the like, and a plurality of lighting lights 7 for illuminating the entire environment. Each of these illumination lights 6.7 is equipped with a dimmer 6a, 7a, and filters 6b, 7b of various colors are set, so that the color of the illumination light can be changed. [00111 Note that the dimmers 6a and 7a are filters 6b.
, 7b are also provided, and these are controlled by the computer 5, and by controlling them together with the illumination light 4, the brightness and darkness of the entire aquarium can be controlled, and the color can be controlled. By combining these controls, it is possible to create a sense of perspective, depth, and scene description, and it is also possible to change the scene over time to change the scene from morning to noon to midday, etc.

[0012] A plurality of speakers 8 and a subwoofer 9 are provided in the tunnel 2 to reproduce general sound and low frequency sound, and reproduce the sound of waves, squalls, and various sounds in the thin ice. It is designed so that it can be flowed to enhance the production effect. Note that the speaker 8 and subwoofer 9 are connected to the computer 5 via a sound activation device 10, and are configured to be activated acoustically in response to control of the dimmer, etc. of the lighting lamp. Also, speakers 11 are provided at the entrance and exit positions of the tunnel 2, so that information broadcasts or sounds can be broadcast. [0013] [Effects of the Invention] The present invention can create an atmosphere resembling a real seabed by providing lighting lights and a sound device in a large aquarium, and also allows the lighting to be dimmed as time passes. , color changes can be made to create changes throughout the day. For this reason, those who pass through the tunnel inside the large aquarium can experience the feeling of actually taking a walk under the sea. Furthermore, since this facility can be installed in a building with an amusement facility in the downtown area in the background, it is possible to experience a walk under the sea in a light and light manner.
