RhythmFish concept enables Dory to create trippy visuals

Wait, you did name your guppy Dory, right? Whatever your household fish is named, you can certainly give it a fresh purpose in life with the RhythmFish -- if it were more than a mere concept, of course. The setup surrounds your fish with webcams and monitors its movements via sensors in order to translate all of that data and put forth a visual interpretation. In all honestly, it's probably just some sort of randomizer hooked up to a Windows 95 screen saver, but a boy can dream, can't he?

Thereby completely obviating the need to look at, and enjoy, the fish itself. Thank you, technology!

Yes, I am looking to get quantitative data on just how dismal the life of a creature in a tiny dish is.

A boy can, but I don't think fish can.

The photo on the far right looks like something the robots from The Matrix would have set up.

Then you see the fish thinking of ways of killing you and all your family

Mmmmm. Goldfish and silicon wafers.

looks like a meth lab with a modernized technologoy incorporating an LCD screen.

In Big Bang Theory, Sheldon created a luminous Dory. That, was awesome.

[Dave @ May 31st 2008 5:53PM]

I think it looks kind of cool, actually. I'd probably scrap the LCD screen, though, and tell people it's a device designed to drain the fish's life force.

This is a result of the post-9/11 police state culture, we're even spying on fish now! (yes, jk)
